Skinnies is an old term that guys in the American military called the locals down in Mogadishu because of skinny legs. Only older guys who are military dweebs and people who watched Black Hawk Down but usually paid too much attention and delved deeper probably going on obscure military forums know of this term. The average American or other people don't know about it. All in all, it was used by specific American crews deployed in Somalia in the 90s, nothing beyond that. Even racists don't use it.

Are you so desparetly in need of being called skinnies, a word associated with the conflct in the 90s, likely alluding to people in hunger, just to be called skinny in the vain sense? That is insane, ngl.

I’m just quoting my previous comments cuz yall not getting the memo omfg maybe yall are 60iqs after all just think outside the box for a second.

Cadaan people WORSHIPPPP thinness to the point there is no universe being called skinny could be a bad thing in the west. Haven’t you heard ab ozempic? The “heroin chic” trend? Liposuction? The rise of anorexia and eating disorders to the point there is whole ass online communities dedicated to girls starving themselves to be skinny you seem to not understand the extent that thinness is universlly worshipped across demographics in the west (barring Maadow people) evidence below:

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

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

[jusbrowsin]

[Unicorn]

[Heartbreakkid]

You’re trying so hard. We get it, you’re not offended lol.

 

[caanoshaah]

Or more like I been obsessed with trying to be skinny asf my whole life and I am extremely flattered and happy by this I’ve spent the last month going through hell trying to lose 10lbs I gained during winter even though everyone is insisting I’m already skinny…. like some of us suffer with body dysmorphia okay??? If you don’t understand count your blessings

 

[nothingfrosty]

Skinny isn’t really good, they’re referring to being genetically skinny basically you can’t build muscle.

It’s really not that deep. Cadaans found a word that triggers black Americans. I wouldn’t react to something like skinny. Who cares
