Being confused for other ethnicities/races

Post by watchmenow »

Most times throughout my life I've been confused for being Arab for the longest time as well as Pakistani or Indian. I feel odd when a Arab specifically from Saudi or Jordan swears I am a Arab. I've been around many Arabs I don't interact with them however a few have asked why I disassociate from the Arab community. I laughed and told them I was no Arab and I was pure Somali. Same with the Pakistani I get confused for being Paki which is kind of offensive I think. Besides that I feel as if being mistaken for a non-black group is weird and even my black friends have called me a neglit ( a off colour nigger they say) because I'm not a real "nigga". Pakistanis have confused me for Paki as well as Indians and a few other north Africans. Its interesting to see there facial reaction when I say I am not from there country and I'm Somali.

My experience.

Your experience isn't unique. Many Somalis get confused for Pakistanis, Indians, Sri Lankans, North Africans, Middle Easterns, etc.

Classical example of Somali inbreeding. Memo to Somalis, stop marrying your first cousin; matter of fact don’t marry anyone within your qabil.
