The black indentity, as defined by US/Western Europeans, is it known to native Somali's? Does it come as a surprise or confusion when they migrate to the US/Europe and all of a sudden are labelled with this foreign racial label? I ask, because Horners are frequently mentioned in the middle of any debates about this socially defined racial label. I've also come across South Asians who live in England who perceive them as non-black but their own seperate category. And then there are others who group them all under the black label. I know that this is a potentially delicate question on this overly-sensitized/defensive forum. There is no wrong or right answer to this, it is what it is.
