@poki: i still get this comment all the time 🥲

⃟ :

Agree, north african people don’t have a lot of representation in the media. I grew up with a lot of arabs and you look north african asf. Like i’d never assume you were asian or latina like a lot of ppl do with north africans because they dont know what north africans look like in the first place.

pokimane :

if u saw this the first time no u didn't 😌🫶🏻

Iyasu :

Is there a “Moroccan look” though? Imaan Hamman and Hakimi are Moroccans with “mixed” features then there’s you with ambiguous features although leaning slightly Asian, and there are also those who look Arab and even European. You all look different how can we tell who’s Moroccan based appearance alone 🤷

Sirine 🇵🇸 :

I mean.. have you seen us north Africans we are so.. so mixed 😂 I look European my brother looks turkish, my cousin looks asian, my sister have latina vibes... 😂😂

👹 :

Girl, respectfully, what?

persimminion :

tbh without makeup on you don’t look asian at all i think ppl see ur makeup style and aesthetic and just assume

Sai :

i hope you teach people that we are genetically and ethnically amazigh and not arab!! a lot of us have been arabized and identity as arab, our language has also been arabizedzbut genetically were still all amazigh in north africa (except egypt but even they have a small amaizgh tribe in the west called the siwa tribe)

freya ✨️☀️ :

im persian/indian, but I dont look like people's conceptions of an indian, & i grew up with a lot of more east asian friends so I actually had a very similar experience 🥹 it's really nice to hear someone else talk about it 🫶🏻💕

Grumbo :

Poke and and Lexie (from prelude/dream academy) lowkey looks the same

Iman :

There’s a convo that I’ve had quite a few times where I tell ppl I like poki cause she has the same name as me and I’m moroccan and a gaming+pokemon fan so I feel represented and they’ll go "i thought she was asian? she doesn’t look moroccan" and I’m like yes she does you just don’t know enough Moroccans 😭
