Why do some ethnicities get mad about

why do they get mad when you correctly guess their ethnicity straight away with no guesses ? This random dhagacas guy from masar was feeling some type of way because I said you are from there right? He asked me somali? I said yes you Masaari? Dude changed his face within seconds like whadddd I do ?

People want to feel exotic, a lot like caadan americans cosplaying as italian because their distant ancestors that died 200 years ago were.

I was getting on the bus today. The driver was Somali and he seemed surprised that I spoke to him in english (he probably thought i was a hooyo matalo). There was another Somali guy in the seat right at the front near the driver cabin. They were clearly friends since they were chatting. As I walk on his face lit up. “Somali or Eritrea?” he goes. I’m smiling because he’s smiling and I say I am Eritrean. He starts to go on about how I look Somali etc and that I should do a DNA test in case :mjlol:
He must have thought I was lying to avoid conversation but I honestly wouldn’t have minded talking. Miskeen guy.


But yeah. Moral of the story is that a niche ethnicity is a conversation starter. Take that away and people get agitated easily

On the case of dna is illustrative dna legit. I've seen somalis with 20 Nilo-Saharan. And a bit of arab

My friend in college is Eritrean and he always gets confused as Somali aswell.
When I first met him I was talking to him for 3 months thinking he was a somali but then when I brought it up he was like "how am I Somali you guys have a completely different face shape from us"
I felt so stupid

Checks out, I think. But I don't keep up anymore with the results these genetic sampling companies have. Be best to download the raw data and run it through Global25.
I stole it of reddit. Why does somalis have Nilo-Saharan. In significant amounts, I understand that cushites exist in southern egypt? Minor arab is quite rare

I'm no expert but we did mix quite a bit with North Africans if I'm correct. Since there was contact between them and us through trade and etc. Not sure about this though.

Makes sense Sahara was green 5000 years ago. Maybe berbers originated in somalia. Mashallah my linage is fully SOMALI! 😃

Yeah I'm pretty sure Cushitic people like Somalis are an ancient mix of North africans and nilotic people in Sudan 10,000 years ago
