I’m Somali and I’m not black or Arab, because I am African.

Cope. Somalis who are Arab-like in appearance due to Natufian DNA are regarded as the beauty standard in Somali culture.
ive seen morbidly obese females on IG gas themselves up because of their "light" skin, that came from bleaching. not being black doesn't mean we should want to be Arab or white, i would rather perfer to hold the title of African or cushite.

The issue of colorism within the Somali community is not new. Some Somalis believe that being light-skinned is more desirable and associate it with beauty and success. However, this belief is not universal, and most Somalis do not fetishize lighter skin at all.


As a light-skinned Somali male myself, I don't understand the hype around being light-skinned. Recently, I have noticed that some Somalis prefer light-skinned Somalis. Personally, Wallahi I would rather go for a brown ethnic Cushitic Somali than someone who falls into brainwashed lightskin category.
