Nothing at all it's just many people tend to do it with a self righteousness about them as an attack on somalis while being totally ignorant and naive about how things really are while also not willing to actually learn. They just come in to lecture.
I can see why you would think that. No worries!
We were more going by the clinical aspect of it, as outlined by Mayo clinic, an institution of what one might call an authority on the subject.
Isn't that the hive mentality ? I see it with other groups too like Philippinos and Indians. I geuse it's because those ethnic-groups lack individualism, for example if someone mentions France you wouldn't see thousand of French people happily celebrating for getting "noticed" by some random foreign influencer.
I’ve not noticed that with Indians and Pakistanis tbh. People mention them all the time. They’re a lot more famous than us as a group and have had thousands of shows, documentaries and the like set in their lands.
The mayo clinic definition is a basic, lame definition that isn’t helpful lol.
See, nomads express devotion, and remorse in poetry, but not in trivial slight, and to be on its receiving end, one must trully deserve it, but then again, expecting a nomad to expose deeply seated emotion in the company of their haunted, bedevilled, thought-deprived, self-entitled, self-obsessed progeny is distasteful, if repugnant, in the nomadic sense.
This is what I've been thinking worded so perfectly! Somali parents are the main characters and definitely do see their kids as an extension of themselves. Thanks for sharing that blog post and your thoughts it really helped me make more sense of what I was trying to say.
