I'm neither white nor arab so I don't give a shit about them. I take offense to being designated a colour ( which isn't even correct since I'm brown not black) instead of my actual race, a Somali African. Btw why do pakis and hindis get special mdntion but Africa is a just one colour? Why not just allow the person to write down their ethnicity themselves instead of listing some arbitrary ethnicities?
You are right and some institutions are catching on,

Somalis are a very unique ethnic group, from a mile away you are likely to spot 3 things about someone, wether they are male or female, black or white, and if black wether somali or not

What is unique about Somalis?

What is unique about Somalis?
Everything. Those of us that are pure Somali genetically are the most purest descendants of the neolithic migrants to the horn. We haven't changed or admixed much with anyone else since our ancestors left Southern Egypt/Northern Sudan during the neolithic.

By the way, I'm sharing my genetic results and have compared and contrasted with a number of people. According to it I'm more closer genetically to Algerians than to SE Bantus lol I guess it makes sense (Since we're both Afro-Asiatic speakers)

Anyway we are a unique people and if Indians are their own racial group then so are we as well :stylin:

As far as I know you aren't even an ethnic Somali, right?

Chinament, where have you shared your genetic results? And what haplotypes do you carry? Algerian is not an ethnicity so I'm curious what you share similarity with a country. Please elucidate.

Why isn't there a color/s for the ASIAN group above?


eth·nic/ity
adj.
1.
a. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage.
b. Being a member of a particular ethnic group, especially belonging to a national group by heritage or culture but residing outside its national boundaries: ethnic Hungarians living in northern Serbia.
2. Relating to a people not Christian or Jewish.
n.
A member of a particular ethnic group, especially one who maintains the language or customs of the group.


As far as am concerned the term ETHNIC or ETHNICITY has nothing to do with color.

We're Somali - Africans.
Africa is one of the most diverse place on Earth.
I don't see myself as a colour.
