Somali American is not in the list of racial identification in America. You either African American, Native, Hispanic or White. Even Arabs do not call themselves Arabs. They call themselves Whites.
African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans[3]) are an ethnic group of Americans (citizens or residents of the United States) with total or partial ancestry from any of the Black racial groups of Africa.
