I'm not Somali, but it irks me when people say or type Somalians...even when they say Caribbeans.

How come?

Typically when referring to the people of a country "an" or "ians" is added. For example: "Kenyan" and "Ethiopian".

Even if it isn't correct grammer in this case, most people don't always practice proper grammer so I don't know why you would be offended.

To all the people that have lived in poor communities know, Africans been getting called "African booty scratchers" and Africans way before it was the other way around. From experience it wasn't until mid to late 2000s til there was an understanding. I grew up in Edgewood and Eastlake.

Its Somali in Somali language, and is agreed practice for English too. Somalian sounds terrible.
