What nationality have you been mistaken for?

[Nomoregames2019]

Somali. I love it to be honest, I can walk into any Somali area and be shown love. One time during Ramadan, I was running late for iftar, so this one Somali elder invited me into his house to break fast with him.

I told him I was Sudanese, and then he started talking to me in Sudani Arabic

Back home they just think I'm a local till they ask me what's with my surname. Since being in the UK noone has outright said it but they are generally surprised I am somali I have no idea what image they have of somali's but it isn't me.

@Nomoregames2019 's people are to blame and those Arab League maps.

 

[Nostalgia]

Yemeni, Indonesian, Pakistani (once at a Pakistani mosque a lady started talking Urdu to me ). I find it most annoying when Somalis tell me I don't look Somali.
