United States Census Bureau Estimates African Population

They should’ve made African regions into separate categories like North, Horn, West etc instead of “sub subsaharan”
American census was always goofy. It labels Middle Easterners and North Africans as white for example. Lmao, I've seen Moroccans that look blacker than Ethiopians and Somalis.

That’s a relic from scientific racism era when “White” & “Caucasian” was synonymous. Hence why the US government lazily labelled most Caucasoid/“Caucasian” racial groups as “White”. Even though in reality White=European.

The usage of ‘Sub-Saharan’ label to collectivise Black countries is fine, so long as Somalia, Djibouti & Eritrea are placed in the Arab camp.
It’s a weak label invented in the 20th century. To put almost all of the land of the most diverse continent in the world under one region is stupid. It should be like Asia, separate cultural/geographic regions

doubt we are no more than 60k these census like to misinform and create exaggeration. If we were so many you would have found a somali community in florida, nyc, san Antonio etc you telling me all 200k somalis are in minnesota, ohio and Washington and the rest spread out? I smell bullshit

Question: Are Somalis usually grouped with other Arabs or with Blacks by public & Gov’t institutions/organisations in the USA?
We're never grouped with Arabs sorry to burst your bubble. We're usually grouped as black although if there's a choice on a form some may pick other and fill in "Somali" themselves.

That's not the case, buddy. Public institutions like the Arab American Institute rightfully classify Somalis as an Arab ethnic group.
