      maybe Ethiopian but he doesn’t look Somali at all lol

      Hahaha I am Somali and we are definitely not mixed with dirty fucking Indians or Arabs.

      Somali is almost like a separate race, similar to Ethiopians/Eritreans. We are Somali and that is all. We’ve never mixed and we all look the same (Somali) because that is our race/ethnicity but we still consider ourselves black because we are, we just look a little different.
