We really do look similar to Indians

Only the ones with extremely jileec/straight hair resemble Indians/South Asians. These ones are a tiny fringe minority.
 
It's the truth, some Somalis can be mistaken for Hindi. I've met a few Somalis that I mistook for Indian, not even ethnic minority Somalis, pure Somalis from various clans. Some Somalis also look mixed with Arabic, whereas others, wouldn't be out of place in another African ethnic group. That's the beauty of the Somali genetic pool, you never know what your kid will look like.

Tbh thats one type of Somali look. Somalis are pretty diverse in terms of looks.

I personally am closer looking to a Bantu then I am to a Pajeets. I've even been told I look Kenyan before.

I always say Somalis are their own race because of our differences and share the same commonality; people thought I was being delirious.

And it may sound silly at first hand: but when you look at it at first glance we are distinctive and yet have a diverse of appearances. .
We appear different yet share the same profiles.
 
Hindida waa dadka maanta dunida ugu liito aduunka dhan baa bahdilo hindida waa la neceb yahay waxa ladhaha way shiir badan yihiin marka imagine qofka isku dhajinayo hindida ee ku leh “we really do look similar to Indians”?😑

This exact story happened to my mom. And one time i was wearing a hoodie hiding my fro when some bangladeshi started talking to me in his language, i was so confused, but bro just wanted directions to the mosque so it was calm. 99% of the time i get mistaken for ethiopian tho

I was outside with my hoyo today we were shopping for some reason the shop I was in was crowded with old Indians ladies.
Yo Istg my hoyo looked just like the rest of them View attachment 325744
Take the hijab off and you’d think she was a pajeeta or whatever the hell internet slang for Indian women is.
Ibr I looked in the mirror and Istg I looked Indian as well I never even realised it.
Purely a timo jileec problem. My true Africano 4B textured ass is never getting mistaken for a Biryani muncher 🙏🏿
