Half Somalis are way more loyal to Somalis than full Somalis will ever be

[Inactive]

For example: Robin Banks is Somali on his mom side but he identifies as Somali first.

Alisha Boe from 13 Reasons Why loves being half Somali while totally neglecting her white side.

Then you have many full Somalis on social media who hate on Somali women or Somali men.

So y'all should stop disowning half Somalis and deny their Somaliness.

full ethnic Somalis in the West barely have ethnic loyalty. With half Somalis it will only be ten times worse. Your anecdotal evidence is not reasonable.

 

[Aaegal]

Why do I need to be loyal to Somalis just because I am one? Ethnic loyalty is just an extension of tribalism.

 

[legend]

They haven't seen the full picture.

 

[Bahal]

I have never met a half Somali that didn't spawn quarter Somalis.

It's not anecdotal, it's fact.

Half Somalis are also way more loyal to Somalis than even Somalis in Somalia. The Galkacyo airport, constantly stolen food aid and the completely divided country are good examples.

I'm going to aid in the efforts of making more halflings.

Good luck with voluntarily removing yourself from our gene pool forever.

 

[Leo]

Half Somali or not, being Somali is a privilege. No one is capable of taking that away from you.

It's not like it matters.

 

[Bahal]

It's not like it matters.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

People like you make me think eugenics might not be necessary.

 

[Unstable]

Half Somalis can never be or never are Somalis.

They "love" claiming Somali because it makes them seem exotic and different
They are not loyal at all and usually know nothing about Somali culture

 

[Soulei]

Might be true to some extent. My mom's only half Somali but you would never know--looks aside--because she acts like a typical Somali hooyo, speaks Somali fluently and pretty much grew up in a Somali household. However she grew up in Djibouti so I guess it would be different for half Somalis who grow up in the West. The ones I've seen really rep their Somali side though.

Generalizations upon generalizations

 

[VixR]

It's a huge generalization. But in my experience I'd say the ones whose mothers are Somali typically have more of a connection than the ones who're half Somali through their fathers.

 

[Striker]

I agree I know some half Somalis who speak very good english and lived in Somalia. He claims Somali first.

 

[MadNomad]

I have never met a half Somali that didn't spawn quarter Somalis.

I wonder why that is

Because the father is usually gone?

true..

there are few half cadaan kids in my extended family and they might as well be full. they have white names and their mothers are raising them however they see fit which means little to no knowledge of anything Somali.
