<p>If i am Somali (African) that has US Citizenship would i be considered as a African american? </p>

<p>sorry this may sound stupid but i dont live in the US so i aint got a clue. </p>

<p>The reason i ask this because i was looking at college application and URM was listed under Hooks.</p>

<p>yes, and the fact that you are from somalia will definitely help you stand out more.</p>

<p>You’re not ethnically African American. You’re black, not African American. There’s a difference. You’re Somali-American.</p>
