The word dumani is singular, referring to only one person. Dumanis is plural. The word consists of "Du ma", a very vulgar Vietnamese cuss word.
Dumanis are NOT to be confused with Vietnamese gangsters, Dumanis typically look/act "hard/gangster" in appearance but will never do anything or fight anyone by themselves. a Dumani likes to "mean mug"/stare at other Dumanis in a taunting manner. Dumanis are mostly seen in Northen California but also seen in areas with a high Vietnamese population such as Orange County, Los Angeles, Houston, etc...

Any person(s) with the similar characteristics that is any other race/ethnicity other than Vietnamese would be called a "their race" Dumani-lookalike (i.e.: Chinese Dumani-lookalike, White Dumani-lookalike, etc...)
Look at this Dumani fool right here, I think he has a staring problem...

Durrani (Pashto: دراني‎) or Abdali (Pashto: ابدالی‎) is the name of a pakhtuns tribe.

The Durranis have been prominent leaders, as the royal family of Afghanistan is derived from this tribe, and a substantial number of Durrani Pashtuns are bureaucrats and public officials, as well as businessmen, wealthy merchants and hold high ranks in the military.

Today they are known to be highly succesful and nice entrepreneurs. They're very good looking men and women that make excellent socialists, judges, doctors, lawyers and especially spouses and beaus. They are amazing people. They ate truly the best group of people in the Pashtun, Sindhi and other era. Love them fully.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
