Race is a social construct. Race IS based on skin color. Nothing separates humans in terms of DNA. The races you hear of are social constructs and it is primairly judged by skin color. Hundred years ago Italian and Greeks were not considered white, today they are in the U.S. You have E3B, J1, and R Italian all living together being "White", which is by definition a socially constructed term.
No one cares you think Somalis are differenct race, what we have a problem with is you degrading Black Africans. I don't see you degrade Whites, I see you degrading Africans ON looks, on skin, on racial matters which you yourself come under in the West ironically!
Genetically ALL Somalis cluster with Middle Easterners, North Africans and even Europeans before Black Africans
You may be adoon, but I'm not.
No Somalis- a subset of Oromo- cluster with other East Africans with minimal paternal Eurasian admixture (mid-east and europe)
The tested sample that is avaliable online is of SOmalians from Europe who were most likely refugees from the war. And the sample is not based on regional continuity but Somalians who identify as SOmalians -including bantus/admixed.
When a test does occur based on regional/"clan", there will be gaps between peoples. I have done a y-chromosome test and R1b exist at 12% and I dont have any immediate European ancestry but Arab/Gulf and I am sure ethnic Warsangelis would cluster away from the Somalians genetically, morphologically we might be similar but genetically I doubt it.
