lightskin somalis being mistaken for habesha

[Amirah]

I see some of you don’t like being mistaken for habesha, ok fair enough but how come I see no threads from those that are mistaken for kenyan, ugandan, angolan, nigerian etc. I only see many threads for being mistaken for habesha. when is the coming out for the rest?

Lol Because it doesn’t happen and if it does it’s extremely rare. People outside of Africa actually have some sense of how W vs E Africans look like, especially horners look different. Lemme ask you this do you often get mistaken for Nigerian or Ugandan etc yourself? Or do habeshas normally get mistaken for these countries?

I’m also mistaken for one they say I don’t look Somali It’s a sneak diss they saying I’m too good looking to be Somali. I get this from both Somalis and non-somalis
A lot of people seem to think Somalis are meant to be very dark with goofy teeth and receding hairlines and chin.

I've been asked if I was Ethiopian on 2 occasions by cadaans. That made me feel insecure for a while.

Who the hell wants others to think you're Ethiopian? Besides this happened to me years ago and I'm over it.
