That is so true. Some people say I look mixed or a light-skinned Ethopian. My skin is a butter-tan(yellowish), I have dark brown freckles, sloe-eyed, and my hair is not as unruly as others, my mother is pretty fair-skinned(naturally) for a Nigerian woman. I came out a bit pinkish in colour(lighter than her!) and they called me and my kid bother the 'white' ones when we were little. So, when I went back to the Motherland, they tried to perm my hair and it broke drastically. I hate being light-skinned some times. |

What exactly constitutes "looking African", and what do people mean when they say someone "looks African"? |
| Re: Y Most African Doesn't Like It When People Say They Look Like African! by aminalib(f): 6:10am On Jan 09, 2011 |
i've never met anyone who claimed not to be african, when i ask someone if they are african they will say yes, then i will say i am too, but they never believe me , it's always " are you sure u are african'? |

There is nothing wrong with "Looking" African... Yes There is an "African" Look....many of them There are also "European" Looks as well... Amazing how no one gets offended at the term.."you look european" Often times these phrases are used when a particular look from a region in that Continent is not represented in the domestic country For example...There are not allot of "Sudanese" looking black men in America... So if you were to see a man who looked like this  You would say he or she looks "african"...No biggie..no need for you to catch hurt feelins. Those looks are not common in America...or many european countries...even south america. Much of the Atlantic slave trade did not capture those "genetics". Now as far as a european look... The same thing..often times "eastern european" genetics are not represented in america.... So when you see a white woman who looks like this....  You might hear "she looks european"... Why?...why would someone say that in a country filled with many white women with european genetics? Because Eastern European Genetics are not as common in America as Western Europe Same with East Africa. ...That is all...it's no big deal at all nor should anyone take offense(unless the person is clearly trying to be offensive) |

Royal-VII: There are many of that kind of woman you posted in America. You are correct about that man though as that is more of a Nilotic look which can not be really found in America or West Africa unless you go to Songhai/Zarma/Dendi land |

People cant believe am african. I tell them am somali...and they still think SOMALIA isnt in africa. People have stereotypes of what african should look like. Somali people tend to look more indian or arab than african.

somalia1: People cant believe am african. I tell them am somali...and they still think SOMALIA isnt in africa. People have stereotypes of what african should look like. No such thing as looking African, those pictures you just posted....look "African" to me, not Arab or Indian. These are Indians:   Depending on what Arab group you are talking about (you would have to specify), these are Arabs:   So you may want to get your facts straight man |

somalia1: People cant believe am african. I tell them am somali...and they still think SOMALIA isnt in africa. People have stereotypes of what african should look like. You are such a self hating person, I feel so bad for you and your people. You are an embarrassment to the continent of africa, the fact that you had rather claim Arab or Indian than African is really sad. Get well soon ayanle, your inferiority complex sickens me. 1 Like |
