Getting Tired of being asked, “Somali miyaad tahay”

[Yankee]

I don’t look like the typical Somali, I don’t have what you would call the typical Somali features or phenotype, although I am skinny and that’s about it. I don’t get mistaken for madow/Bantu but I do often get mistaken for Barwaani. I’m thinking about doing a genetics study on my ancestry. We haven’t mixed with any other Somali clan from what I have been told and majority of my ancestors hail from the same sub clan. Both of my parents and grandparents included.
What companies do you guys recommend for the best ancestry results?

Hunter Gatherers from South Africa are lightskinned and They are not mixed race

KHOI-SAN are not Bantu. They are ancient hunter gatherers that lived in South AFRICa before Bantu Migration from Central/West Africa

They don’t think I’m Somali until I begin speaking Af Somali and they usually tell me I look Arab or mixed raced. Someone once asked me if my hooyo was Somali

One of my closest friends is an ethnic Somali but for the longest I thought he was Somali-Bantu. He also thought I was I was banadiri. He only found out about my clan through politic association and my following

lmfao it has its use and it's nice For the most part is just a simple nod of acknowledgment or sometimes a conversation depending on the situation

You sound just like the old guys at the local restaurants I visit, after having a discussion with them in Af Somali they usually end the conversation with, “Haye, qolomaa tahay”

I look so Somali, even Romani Gypsies know I'm one. People have even clocked when at a stop light with my helmet on, my eyes give me away kkkk
