Any of you guys mixed race or of a different ethnicity/race? Don't be scared to share

The Afro Emiratis are paternal, they do speak Somali too. The Jamaican girl is mixed, her dad is half White/Jamaican and no, she doesn't know Somali.
Are your family kind off ashamed of her? Im trying to be respectful and mean no harm, I knew old guys who behave well with their mixed grandparents but in the cafes they say they wish the kids were full somalis so thats why i ask a lot of the older generation have enormous contempt for mixed breeds.

Don't know, I never asked them
 
You should teach her somali she is your blood anyways may try to move her closer to somali culture otherways i dont think her kids and your kids will have a lot of contact since they wont have same cultural basis
The mixed Jamaican/British is a grown up, it would be weird trying to teach her
 
Paternal mixed somalis are as somali as us full ethnic.

But the issue is alot of them are sell-outs and don't claim their somali side even though these niggas have a qabil.

I heard a story my cousin told me about how he was at a janazah for an isaaq oday and this fully caadan man turns up saying he is HY from his paternal great grandfather.

Turns out they verified this caadan mans claim.

:damn:

I’m half somali myself and if my mom was somali she wouldn’t teach me shit and my dad was the one teaching me the traditions and culture

I'm speaking about trends. I have seen more culturally apathetic aabos. And they call it a mother tongue for a reason.

I know half Somalis with aabos that are in tune with their culture but thats because of a consorted effort from the father. @Ebuo and @Giftxo appear to agree that mothers seem to (1) have more face time with kids and (2) are normally better conduits of culture (in attire, customs, culinary skill and language).
