The Somalis I tend to mistake as foreigners are usually Isaaq (sometimes too Xabash looking) and Hawiye (you know they call them Hutu for a reason)..

Well I guess them ones are avoiding this topic.. ..

Anyway this isn't only a Somali thing, I'm a member of a hair board and walahi they have this sort of topic every 3months and majority of the users are madow and they all claim ppl say they look Somali/Ethiopian maybe sometimes mixed race, Hispanic and pretty rarely Indian when they were their remy Indian weave..
No one says they get mistaken for west african *or any part of Africa except the Horn*..

walahi this fool is dumb.

I am just being honest, the most foreign looking Somalis are among the Isaaq and Hawiye. I have met some odd ones where I almost couldn't believe they were Somali.

A few times, I have been mistaken for Ethiopian, Eritrean, Yemeni etc.

One person even had the audacity to say that I'm not Somali, because I don't have the typical large behind
