East African's Features, Amazing

[IRONm@N]

I realize that Horn of Africans have more Caucasiod features than any other race except indians.
Arabs and Jews have big everything. are stocky, with big hooked nose, big hands, big eyes, big eyebrows, ears etc ,and have olive skin, so they are distinct from Europeans
Asians have small everything, small eyes, small body, small nose and they have yellow skin, very short, and very distinct from Europeans.
now the Bantu Africans-- have kinky hair, broad nose, dark skin, large body frame, very distinct from Europeans.

Now Horn of Africans, are tall, slender, with narrow face, high cheek bones, pointed nose and somewhat straight hair, although they have dark skin, they match the Europeans in every way, except the white skin.

It doesn't always work. I know an Eritrean brother who looks completely "Somali". He always get spoken to in Somali. When I went to a gathering of theirs some his relatives were talking to me for an hour assuming that I was Eritrean. And they all looked like "faraxs to me"Then there are some people who live in Ethiopia who look "Somali" like Oromos. Sahos, Oromos, Afars and others tend all look more similar to each other. But it is true that Xabashis and Tigray do have some distinct looks.

whites can be telled apart, an eastern european is not the same as western, a southern isn't same as the northern. Same with the arabs, asians, and africans. It's just how familiar you are with the features of a certain people than you can tell them apart. What you are pointing out Murax, is your real ignorance and you are using that as a basis of analysis, comparison, and conclusion. You my friend are not very inteligent and all those who followed your ignorant reasoning

I wouldn't have used those words precisely but it's true. If you become familiar with specific people it becomes very easy to tell them apart. Like oriental, after a while you realise they don't all look alike.

Patriot,

Ethiopians are pretty chill people. I think the worst beggars are from Wooqoyi. Never have I seen a GIMMEE people like them before. Everywhere you go, they are begging and hustling. Even asking for directions costs a fee.

That being said the Ethiopians on average are a more hard working people and make better employees than the skinnies. You can't scold or discipline a skinny for whatever reason and always need to be wary of firing them lest they recruit their family to kidnap you.

When it comes to women, Ethiopian women are finer and more attractive. They also age more gracefully even after several kids. I also admire their submissive behavior and respect.

Generally, among Somali women you don't get that level of respect unless you are dealing with Abgaal or Ogaaden women. These two clan produce the most raaliyo women who are taught to fear their kasbands anad respect them.

People from the (Ethio+ Eritrea +Somalis) do have a distinctive look. I think most of those people can distinguish between themselves. I mean I can tell the difference between Somalis, Ethiopians and Eritreans usually by their looks. I think certain west-africans do have a distinctive look, with the flat yet pointy nose + the shape of their face

BV, not true.


I have two friends one is Lebaneese and the other is Italian. I swear You will not be able to tell one is Middle Eastern except that one is European they both pretty much are White. With Orientals some groups You can tell apart like Japaneese/Chinese but You will not be able to tell apart a Cambodian from someone from Laos or someone from China and North Korea. I've had Ghanean co workers who didn't know another co worker was Ghanean until it just came up one day.


The Somali look is extremely unique and distinguishable and I think it has to do with the fact that Somali as a race didn't have very wider interaction, interbreeding, etc. with the outside world. Other nations through having their lands conquered by other races (Asian Countries occupied each other Countries for a long time), Roman Empires, Byzantium, Ottomon, Persian etc. in the middle Asia or middle east/N Africa and so on. Through this they're was a great deal of intermingling and inter marriage (some forced). Somalia never really had their land conquered and even had little interaction with the colonials.




Gaajounit,

If I understand it correctly gene wise Oromo, Afar are close relatives to the Somali so I can see how some of them would look Somali. Keep in mind though WHen I say Ethiopia I'm talking about the dominant groups there at least politically (Tigray/Amhara). No offence but I don't look at Oromo/Afars as Ethiopians as they are kind of homeless and kind of live all over the place.

I apologize for being an aswhole earlier murax was just trying to get under you skin. But other than for your one friend that is lebanese the majority of them have huge freakin noses and no matter how fair they are I can always distinguish them from european. As for you comment about the ghanian, there is no continent as diverse linguisticly, and genetically as Africa, and these current states are just colonial constructs, God knows how many different ethnic groups live in a small country as ghana and the diversity of the local languages. Korean's Mongolians and Japanese who are related after getting to know them better can be told apart. As for somalia's common we are so closely related, a Hawiye/Rahanweyn from the south is related to cisse madobe in the north if you go back far enough, we just pretend we are different out of ignorance and arrogance.

Ghana Has several ethnic groups and My own buddy who is (Gaa) told Me that people don't know what ethnic group he is in Ghana until He speaks his own language. He said looks wise I can pose as any ethnic group if I just speak English. As for Lebanese, some Syrians, Jordainians You gotta be kidding Me. I am not talking about light skinned Arab I know some that are just plain white, Red/Blonde hair blue eyes type shid not the huge nose, black hair Arabs You see. This is not hard to really comprehend. When You live in lands that were swept through by countless empires going in and out (Turks, Greeks, Romans, Byzantians) Muslims occupying Spain, and in Europe with the constant war among the franks, germans, englishmen, etc. You had a lot of mixing. Any Historian or geneologist will tell You the Somali race has not experienced virtually any mixing at all. You need to study history.

I haven't met Cambodians or people from Laos so I wouldn't know but Chinese and Koreans are not hard to tell apart.

It's just hard to agree with you because I've met Sudanese people who I could have sworn were Somali and Sudanese people who could have sworn that I was Sudanese and random people have come up to me speaking some Ethiopian language so although we do have distinct features I wouldn't go as far as to say that we are truly unique and completely recognisable and different waayo push come to shove we are cushites and we have mixed with other people.

I'm not denying there are outliers within each race. I mean there might be a Somali here or there that You will not tell right off the bat they are Somali but generally speaking for the most part when it comes to East Africans; I've seen even the most closed, ignorant Americans who are notoriously for generalizing being able to distinguish a Somali from a Ethiopian let alone a Ethiopian and a Somali identifying each other.


Btw like I said before Ethiopian for Me is Tigray/Amharic. Oromos, Afars in Djibouti/Eritrea, Bejas/Nubians in Sudan, etc. will def have populations that really look Somali because we all share the cushitic gene while Tigray/Amharic have semetic origins from Southern Yemen.

Do Rwandans have big foreheads or is it just me. So its not just Somalis with the big forehead
