are you mixed? no way a somali would be mistaken for north african or arab
we are opps here and dont get along unless they're muslim. But the muslims are a minority here. Where do you live?
Nope fully somali , i have somali features as well so idk. I assume they arent familiar with our people.

Press rewind ⏪
You seem stuck in the 2000s. I'm from South London and never heard that. No one says that anymore.
Is difficult if they say it infront of your face and when I call them out they say "your emotional" that's why I don't have any ajanabi friends anymore.
Somalis have a variety of hair types and range from dark to light skin anybody with two eyes would notice that lol.
I got told that in 2018 and again in 2022....
they're haters who hate seeing us be beautiful.
Where do live abayo

What is wrong with being assumed we are darker? How is that backhanded unless you think it is an insult?
It's weird if people pretend as if every person within an ethnic group has a fixed skin tone. But I think this is just for people not exposed to Somalis.

They assume because im lightskin I'm not somali. Is annoying when people think us lightskins somalis don't existWhat is wrong with being assumed we are darker? How is that backhanded unless you think it is an insult?
same G, the arabs and south asians beg it to us here. All their b1tching and yapping is online, they could never say it to our faces cus they b scared. If someone said “Im too good looking to be somali” Gooska iyo gafuurka isku jabiin laha wallahi
Internalised racism/colourism is a problem for some people, hahaWhat is wrong with being assumed we are darker? How is that backhanded unless you think it is an insult?

Maybe you don't look Somali overall? Perhaps it's not just your skin color alone, lol.
These things don't happen too often though.
