U.S Census: Somalis and Hispanics Checked White

The white population in the U.S. is growing - thanks to Hispanics and Somalis.
So say the latest census figures, which found a big jump in the number of Hispanics who listed themselves as white on the 2010 census forms.
"It really surprises me, that is a significant shift," said Abdallahi Hirsi , a Columbia University professor and editor of "Africa New York: A Sourcebook."
For example, most Somali immigrants - even dark-skinned Somalis - would say they are white "because they have historically perceived themselves as not black" like their African neighboring countries, Abdallahi Hirsi said.

Well, well, there is a large somali community in the USA and Canada who are not darkskinned. So, I guess they have identity crises.
There is nothing ceeb about that! How would a white skinned somali define him/herself? not black...
Give it a thought
