Lmao maybe white Ppl and african americans may be obsessed with u but the rest of africa hardly knows u exist. I must say ethiopian and somali girls are pretty. But somali men damn are really down the barrel when it comes to looks, even ethiopian men are better.

every somali girl came from the testecillles of every somali guy.........with out somali guys their would be no somali girls.


somali guys and ethiopian guys are well liked by people who like brown skin with soft hair and noble features.........but those who like men who look like gorillas, short, nappy hair and wide nose often dont like somali men.........lol


and we all know somali women look better than any negroid women on earth....

This! Africa is very diverse and you can find plenty of phenotypes there.

but seriously, I'm not buying that Caucasoid or negroid stuff,because as you said Africa is diverse, you're ethiopian right? I'm pretty sure you can pass for a Nigerian e.g fulani, or even some kanuri.

so I personally will not classify myself as negroid or Caucasoid or mongolid, I'm yoruba and I look yoruba, Bleep it.

Ethnicity is different from race. For example, Irish people or Scottish people or even Jews are classified as cacausoid. Most subsaharan African ethnicities like Igbo Zulu etc are classified as negroid. South East Asian ethnicities are classified as mongloid.

I don't see why you would think there's anything wrong with being negroid.

And No. He won't pass for Fulbe. Cushites generally dont. Though fulbe are known to have keen features it differs from other such ethnicities. Heck even Cushitic people have different looks, for example, I'm sure your mate would confirm that Ethiopians (be it oromo or most other ethnicities) don't look like somalis.

Well I'm not even east African but I can always tell a Somali from an Ethiopian and it's not even about stereotypes like the forehead and teeth. You just generally look different. I reckon if I can spot these differences, so can you, yes?

But otherwise I agree you're not that different look in the sense that east Africans generally have a distinctive look.

Well I've noticed you east Africans tend to think any non West African looking person is east African or your compatriot. But I'm glad to hear about Ethiopians and Somalis getting along. Maybe it's cause you're a muslim.
