Btw I hope you guys know Dirac is from the benadiri community and their Swahili brother (Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar,etc.) call it dira/deera too.

Somalis appropriated the colourful silky Diracs from Indians anyway so we shouldn’t be complaining

Somalis source their materials from India and other countries but the designs, styles, gorgorads etc= purely Somali.
The thing is Somalis don’t even have a unique culture so to speak, it’s literally a fusion of us stealing shit from Indians Arabs Persians Ethiopians etc. Our ancestors weren’t innovative people so we just culturally appropriated from those around us.

Arab history is rich and dates back to pre Islamic times whereas Somali culture starts in the mid 1400s
 
What pisses me off even more is that these women are British! British Africans love hating on Somalis and now they want to make money from our culture?!
