Guys, guys...
this is why you go for a girl from the Gulf. We Gulf somalis spend our life surrounded with family from back and almost all of us have spent time in the homeland.
It's a good mix of being reer magaalo and a cultural-proud Somali.
I'm sorry sisters, but a lot of you guys who grew up in the west are sell-outs to us. Glamorizing black culture, pretending to be an AA, just throwing out all our own cultural values to be this BLM, tumblr-warrior or Twitter SJW who jump at the second to marry a foreigner (black, other african, cadaan).
It doesn't matter. Fact of the matter is a lot of Somali girls in the West are the reason why most guys are looking back home to get married. Almost everyone I know is a couple who has one diaspora member and one from back home, though usually a middle to upper class one from back home anyways.
It's what my brother did, his classmates, my classmates, acquaintances...
