Apparently Skinny is a “slur” for Somalis

[caanoshaah]

Yall this literally made my whole day I found this in the other thread and I feel like it needs a thread of its own.

The cadaans are literally facing an obesity epidemic and skinny/being thin is literally one of the biggest focuses in the western beauty standard and apparently “skinny” has been a SLUR AGAINST SOMALIS THIS WHOLE TIME??


Now these niggas are apparently trying to move on from calling Somalis “skinny” because peep this… they think it’s not “offensive enough”

Someone please convince them it’s offensive because I’ve said 3x already I am WAITING for the day a mf screams “SKINNY B*TCH” at me in public and EVERYONE TURNS AROUND TO TAKE A LOOK AT ME???

Are you dumb????

These cadaan mfs are so struggling so much with being fat rn that they are doing anything and everything to be skinny, from starving themselves to doing cocaine to taking ozempic….. and you really wanna consider “skinny” an insult? You got it all wrong WAKE UP!!!!! Black hawk down was 30 years ago mf we are in a different time, if you genuinely get offended at the word skinny despite it straight up being a compliment and what these cadaans fight for their life striving for you just got an inferiority complex

Whatever they call us don't react to it. Let's not make it official. They just want a word that will trigger us like the N word does for Madows

Yall are missing a few screws skinny is a compliment?? What are yall not getting

These mfs getting surgery (liposuctions), doing ozempic, drugs and straight up starving themselves to the point of anorexia to be skinny if yall reallyyyyy gonna get offended at that you got a complex to heal

There is nothing insulting about being called skinny when it’s THEIR WHOLE ASS BEAUTY STANDARD and they’re in an obesity crisis Yall need to wake upppppp THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!

It’s a dumb slur (that isn’t really a slur because being skinny is never a bad thing) but we shouldn’t attempt to normalize it. We should just laugh at the absurdity of them thinking anyone would be offended by being called skinny and move on

Normalize it because actually most people aren’t gonna get how it’s an insult either and in the public eye Somalis will be considered as even more attractive and on a subconscious level too Like yall don’t even know the extent that thinness matters to be considered attractive in the west, DO YOU?? WHAT WORLD ARE YALL LIVING IN?? Here’s some things that pop up on Twitter when you search the word “skinny”/“thin”….




(From a pro anorexia account btw…. if that doesn’t say enough ab the extent of the value of thinness in the west idk what will you would never find a pro anorexic mindset anywhere than the west/indhayar countries really…)

Don’t make me go on…. wake up b*tches the golden age has begun with the use of that word

I ain’t even into pop culture but imagine if those mfs got a hold of this… yall not seeing this for what it is it’s objectively a good thing there’s no way around it

It's an old slur from Black Hawk Down

 

[caanoshaah]

They're trying to mock us for famine. But it's not giving them the reaction they want.

This is what they mean

Girl and what relevance does that have when their teenage girls are starving themselves to be the same level of skinny?!? There is no universe where “skinny” could ever work as an insult to reduce Somalis in the western world like Do y’all EVEN KNOW THE EXTENT of how thinness is worshipped in the west? WHERE DO YALL LIVE?

Like there is deadass whole online communities + a whole subsection on Twitter called edtwt (“eating disorder twitter”.. I wish I was making this up omfg) where they are giving each other tips and tricks trying to be skinny some even deadly thin… look up “deathspo” aka DEATH (thin) INSPIRATION? that’s the extent of how thinness is glorified in the west omfg here’s an example in spoilers, you’re in for a shock

My point is their “mockery” regardless of how dark it is does come off as a compliment because of their cultural standard even if you don’t see it that way… THIS IS A GOOD THING REGARDLESS THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX COME TF ON WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT TIME

funnily enough even back then they had the whole “heroin chic” trend where they idolized the thinness of… heroin addicts

Skinny is a pretty tame insult compared to every other slur other people are called.

Umm no I would absolutely rather be called skinny I’m trying to lose weight tf and everyone already calls me slim…..


I prefer the VS model vibe for myself personally especially because I don’t like to be hypersexualized at all and I prefer to be seen as “beautiful” then “sexy/thick” anyday You talking to the wrong person If someone called me thick I think id cry
