Nothing worst in this life than being mistaken for Somali man.

Im Pakistani but i get mistaken for bengali... only bc I love fish.


I wish I liked fish, I get told I'm not a true bengali coz I don't like it :cry2::emo:

Yes I am aware of that example (one of many) of Islam being spread throughout the region definitely not through violence and coercion :smile:

Even I was mistaken too, i thought you were Indian/ Pakistani.

Ive not been mistaken as any other nationality. Probably because I look purely Indian.

I was mistaken for Pakistani a long time ago, though, so not any more

Yeah it's not usually hard to tell if somebody's Indian haha

Somali women if you're a man could be worse? :wink:
Half Mongolian, Half Moroccan

Usually people think I am either Arab (Which is correct to some extent - still not sure if Morocco is an 'Arab' county or not) or Thai (I can somewhat see why due to my Mongolian genetics). One time I got called Ukrainian? How the hell did this happen?

Oh and my local Kebab shop always speaks to me in Farsi (I do love my Iranian Kebabs though!)

Nothing wrong with being born an Indian. What are you on about?

Actually, I dont think theres anything wrong with being born in any nationality, at the end of it, we're all humans.

Being patriotic and proud of your own nationality is cool but degrading others to make yours look good is not cool.

Just saying that I'd rather be mistaken for a Somalian man than being Indian.

I didn't mean it though, just trying to help a brother out.

Funny though, you respond to my comment about an Indian man, but not about Somali men

Let me guess...

It's gone, just look forward.

I talked to my barber about the same thing, he said it's all genes.

Embrace it!

Maybe go bold?
People think I am Mixed (black+white), a few even thought I was Indian
