I was surprised when I joined Somali twitter and later on this form to see young Somalis talking about ajnabi dating in a negative way especially Somali men because in my real life experience as a young American somali who grew up around somali boys, they seem to be all for it. All throughout high school( and in university) Somali guys dated white/black/ and Hispanic girls at a way higher rate than they dated Somali girls. You’d be hard pressed to find one in my area who hasn’t dated double ajnabi females than Somali ones-(the same is not true for the women).So if anything I’d assumed they’d be big supporters of it but online seems to be a different story. So I’ve come to the conclusion that the difference is in location, Somali Americans support and actively practice dating out( especially the men) while Somali Europeans view it as some type of betrayal. I don’t know why this difference is, but Canadian Somalis also go with somali Americans. American Somalis also tend to be more religious than European Somalis so that may be a factor.
