Why the hell do VISIBLY full somalis claim to be half Yemeni??

[zidane]

This really upsets me because being Somali is a beautiful thing. I'm literally half Somali (mom)and half Yemeni (dad; my father is from Ta'izz/Ibb in Northern Yemen) and has never set foot in Somalia, yet I stay reppin my mom's side. Why do some of y'all claim what you're not? Like abaayo , I can see you're 100% Somali. Miss me with that bullshit. You can tell when someone is mixed with Arabian blood. They're straight up lying. Plus I'd rather be full Somali. Wallah being Somali is beautiful.

They think its impressive for some reason

Many people are race fetishists, especially around 2014-17 being mixed race was the latest craze.
