Now this girl possibly can't be Somali

[BlackVelvet]

I haven't got it. Doesn't make me any less of a Somali

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

A better question is (and I'm surprised nobody's asked this yet) why do you care?

I dont like people who aren't ethnic somalis saying they are somali. I made that clear earlier.

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

Again...why do you care? Somalis have bigger things on their plates.

I think it has been established by now that the (aptly named) MaliPrince finds otherwise quite ordinary Somali phenotypes reaaallly exotic.

Jokes aside, there's indeed nothing unusual about this Xaliimo. Both she and the Faarax (AUN) fit comfortably into the ethnic Somali range of physical variation. Neither is anywhere close to the extreme poles of that spectrum.

Some other ordinary Somalis:

Most of the pictures you posted are just light skin somalis. The issue with the woman in my initial post is she looks nothing like a somali, not that she's light skin. She looks asian. What you posted does not prove that she's average.

Now on to the major difference between me and you. You just posted pictures of what are mostly somali women in the west (at least they're definitely outside Somalia) going to aroos or other events with pounds of makeup on their face along with using vast amounts of skin lighting cream. I dare you to find me pictures like this of men and women in the baadiye. You know the place somali people and culture began.

War somali ban nahay. There aren't alot of ajnabi on this site that you can fool. All somalis know most of our people are dark skin. This mirage of the typical somali being a cross between an carab and hindi is nothing but your imagination.

You say she doesn't look Somali not because of her skin colour. Then you start talking about Somalis are dark people. You suffer from inferior complexity and jealous of light-skinned Somalis. You wish to be light-skinned.

That girl looks exactly like a Somali. She has large forehead like a Somali, and typical Somali facial features. There are Somalis that are even much lighter than her. My own father's sister whom is very light-skinned more than that girl is a full Somali and has no Arab or foreign blood in her.

Somalis in average have dark brown complexion. However there are Somalis that have light-skin and black skin.

Somalis back home depending on where they reside have darker skin due to the sun. But if they stay at home or live in the city they are much lighter skin.

Anyways you need to stop obsessing about how Somalis look. Just because you are very dark-skinned doesn't mean you have to portray that Somalis are all like you.

maliprince, Lol how about these guys they're 100% ethnic somalis.

[XimanJaale]

Next he will say the Prime Minister of Somalia is not a ethnic Somali.

She is Somali. She is a nice girl. Lots of Somalis have light brown skin. I even do and so does half of my family. It is not a big deal. I am glad that she is representing Somalia since she loves her people and country. I am tired of those Somali hating girls like Ayan Hirsi or that one on America's Next Top Model. They are so embarrassing. As long as Jawahir does not get on t.v and say that she hates her people and cries than she is okay by me. Jawahir seems like a lovely young lady. By the way did you hear Jawahir speak?
