Can't blame me can you? That is the mindset we grow up with back home Abti. But please think rationally and from the perspective of a somali who likes their place in God's planet and among humans. There are languages, cultures and norms found in differing communties on earth. Each thrives and grows in their own unique way. Allah mentioned the diversity in the human flock as one of the hallmarks of his power and evidence. Combine all these good reasons for self preservation and try to understand why a somali would prefer to keep that somali gene living unmolested among humans playing its role in the richness of human diversity. Why then would we invite our place in the human nations to disappear with intentional mixing that becomes the norm?
I am certain the UN would mark somalis as endangered tribe if Somalis had the attitude of their western cousins when it came to love, children and marriage. Marka Abti, with all due respect, we must support keeping the somali population grow and avoid diltuting it beyond recognition.
It is okay for a male to marry a non-somali female btw, cause the kids get his tribe and by extension his somali lineage. Better if these kids also travel to somalia to learn more about their roots so they remain closely attached to their forefathers and to the land. Somalis will respect kids like that who demonstrate attachment to the culture.
Ladies who marry outside shouldn't expect society to treat their kids as somalis, cause they are not by any social standard. Legally and by document they can get citizenship as is the case with many countries, but by culture and tradition of the somalis, they will have difficult time gaining acceptance outside their immidaite families.
What do you think?
