In scale in 1-10 how often do people say you look Somali?

[Khanderson]

I get it so often mostly from Ajnabis.

I don’t live around Somalis but when I do come across one they already know I’m Somali.

when an Ajnabi sees that you’re Somali how do you guys react to that?

I’m already believing that we’re the Asians of Africa when it comes to facial distinctions

 

[Mohmed]

I always get Dinka tribe from Sudan.

Dinka’s don’t look like us per-se but we’re the only Horner groups that resembles their physical characteristics.

I’m only around really around Somali people so idk however I got called north Sudanese once and that’s it and I don’t tell people I’m Somali my name speaks for itself

I’d say north Sudanese is probably the third common guess that people make when they’re guessing your ethnicity after they think that you re an Ethiopian at second glance.

I get called Somali first if they fail at their first attempt they’ll try north Sudanese or Ethiopian

I would say never because people don’t talk to people in real life very often.

@senor chang


Do people assume you’re Somali or Asian

I’m not referring to random people but rather people you meet on accusations.

like: colleagues or friends.

I get Indian more often

I get Indian more often

People thinks when a person of colour

Shares these features: soft eyes, moderate amount of soft curly hair -Indians is what comes to their mind.

what’s funny is India generally has the most diverse range of ethnic groups in the world but I’m guessing their referring the Tamil groups.

I usually guess they mean Tamil or Dravidian South Indians

I get Ethiopian often even by other Somalis. I think there may be some injera muncher in my lineage.

I’d say 4 out of 10 somebody actually guess Somali

Dravidian groups looks like they can pass as Aboriginal Australians at times.

But you can tell they have their own distinctions similar to Somalis.

This Dravidian women looks (kinda) Somali:

 

[mohamedismail]

Too much wallahi. To the extent ive barely ever been asked what country I'm from. They automatically know that I am Somali. The only other countries that I've ever gotten is Eritrean or Ethiopian.

Even when it comes to Somalis, I always have Somali uncles approaching me because I have that typical Somali look. Sometimes I wish I never looked like a typical Somali just to be more undercover.

 

[Abu Hesi]

ever since the satanic app TikTok came out people actually know exactly who I am.

Nacalaa, I like it when they kept guessing.

 

[CABDULWALI XASAN.]

Once a person sees a somali, you can identify all somali people by the way they look.
Only reason you get mistaked is they havent ever seen a somali or you have some admixture

Warya which Ethiopians you’re referring to?

Ethiopia is not like Somalia where everyone shares the same ethnicity.

They could probably mean Ogden since most Somalis are from there. Kkk
