You need to lay off the corny similes.
Did I say "most Swedes" look like her? No, I didn't. So what again was your point? I already explained mine. Please, by all means, waste your time. Keep trying to be right.
You know, if you spoke English, we wouldn't be having this communication problem right now.

Nothing funnier than watching Euros obsess about their whiteness. What are you laughing about ? You and your buddies have been creating Anti East African topics the past day and a half..

I haven't said anything about East Africans at all, what are you talking about? The name of this hread should be do I look white enough and if I don't oh my God! A thread for insecure people.

If they walked around in my neck of the woods[Mississippi] no one is going to give you all a second look except if you're in the wrong town full of rednecks.

Why do they have to be anything why does there have to be that "black" label, why cant they just be what they are and thats somali ?

Here in the midwest many AA act as if we are non black sometimes. When you tell them your African they still don't believe you. In the UK it's much worse Somali's are labeled as Asians sometimes by the West Indian people. It's quite funny when an AA/West Indian questions your blackness when your from Sub Saharan Africa. It was a joke don't take things to heart, although there maybe some truth to it. lol

West Indians are a whole different story because color and class in the West Indies was much more strictly defined where as in America you're just black.

That would be all good and dandy in a fantasy world but the reality is race exists very strongly in the social sense. The Somalis can be Somalis, but in the rest of sub-Saharan Africa people here make the mistake of thinking everyone is the same. A Nigerian is a Nigerian and a Malian is a Malian. Why do people here have the mentality that North and East Africa=unique special people and the rest of Africa are all Negroes?

Charlie so do you think colorism in the West Indies is as bad as it is in India.
