Somali Girl

Very convincing.

Throw a hijab on her and it’s all the same tbh

 

[Marsh]

She isnt somali????

Well, she could be my daughter.

My toddler is the same colour as her but most aren’t that light. If he had that in his hand he would’ve broken it and wouldn’t sit still for that picture.

Correct, most Somalis are a darker shade of brown. However, each family is different. And we often use examples that look more like us, I suppose. She was one of the first pics in google images.

Why? He’s a good actor, but it’s gonna be impossible to break away from the pirate thing lmao.

 

[TekNiKo]

They always pick the most fugliest Bantus to portray us

Every time someone wants to take shots at Somali men they post him. He's one of the few representation we have and he barely looks human

[Nak Muay]

The same Somali girls that were getting bullied by madoows in school for wearing hijab will get all gassed over this because "wE hAvE rEprEnSaTioN nOw" uff

 

[Farahslayer]

The girl she’s playing is part Madow so I don’t see the issue?

Who is she playing?

 

[BetterDaysAhead]

Most Somalis aren’t into acting that’s why they cast non Somali blacks bc there’s barely any Somali actors

Waryada gaar ahaan wiilaasha you should at least be appreciative that it's a mid ajinaabi ah dumarka soomaliyeed waa in laga qaariyo kameerada ileen they should be for indhaa ragga soomaliyeed not for the public view wa idin side ragoow ??

Tayda kale the movie waa mid ku saabsan gudninka, when are they going to take a break and showcase a different angle other than" war firiyaa xayawaanimada bulshada soomaliyeed" ??

Waxaa garta intas ayaan idin ka codsanaya

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

I've seen plenty of black african looking Somali women & most Somali females look black african, so on a looks basis she could pass for the typical Somali female.
