In that case, most indians and south east asians/oceanians would fall under this category. I don't really care what "most people" think. I care about facts.
I'd just leave it blank but sometimes it's mandatory to specify.

There is no such thing as africans when it comes to race. Somalis are unique from the rest of sub saharan african because they are mixed race (mixed with ancient meditereans) - the only difference from mixed race people from Latin Americans is that somali case it is ancient.I agree with Liquid,
We are not Black and neither are we Arabs. We are Africans>>Somalis just like how Berbers are Africans. We are indigenous Africans. Africa is not only home to Black people it is home to brown people like East Africans and Yellow people like Berbers!!!
Why you lying for, we don't have the same skin tone as the ordinary blacks unless they have white in them like their grandparents etc. Plus there are dark-skinned Indians too and will they be considered as Black? Nope.Even though i think whites will be ignorant of the differences within Africans. But for this list a case could be made for the Asians as they splintered into minority groups that have a big presence here since the 60s; so the length of the list and the processing time is justified.
Secondly Somalis for the most part (apart from very insignificant variation) don't have a separate skin tone then other blacks, we both have same shades and tone of skin colour. So this black category is totally fair imo.
No we are not mixed race you idiot. There might be some little mix in small population of Somalis but we are pure indigenous people. We didn't get our features from any mixture.

As for skin tone the difference is negligable. Dude isnt colour melanin related? and the more eumelanin you have the darker your skin is? so somalis have black skin colour; there is slight tone variation but today thats all considered to be black.
Perhaps go learn basic genetics. Somalis are not mixed raced!!How can you say they are indigenous when somalis have are almost equality split between negroid and caucasoid component? how can a people split in this manner (two races) be a pure race. This is retarded logic.
Im not denying you what you are as you are somali by ethncity. But race wise somalis are not a separate or pure race. Black as in skin colour refers to racial designation that we have today. Its not scientific designation and im not using in that way.
A lot of "Races" are mixed. Indians/Pakistanis/Bengalis for example are a mixture of ancient south Asians(who probably looked like Australian aborigines) and Indo-Eurasian migrants from more northern areas. North Africans are mixed Ancient European + Ancient Middle easterns plus Ancient sub-Saharan Africans (20%).Perhaps go learn basic genetics.

And no we are not Black!
enough with the 'ancient mixture' label. Somalis are indigenous Africans and didn't not get their features from others. I'm not denying that Somalis have some mixture, but to say they got their thin nose and soft hair from Arabs is totally wrong.

Middle eastern are mixed with East African (8%-18%), Central Asians are mixed East Asian/Caucasian. Horn Africans are mixed Ancient SSA (50%-65%) + Ancient Middle easterns (35%-50%) from the neolithic era.
Most humans on planet earth apart from East Asians proper and some sub-Saharan groups have some sort of mixture.
No we are not dark-skinned 'europeans'. Having thin nose and soft hair doesn't only belong to Europeans. We are Somali/Africans.as this picture of a white and Somali models shows the Somalis are just dark skinned Europeans
