I've never heard or seen a Somali woman bragging about being light skinned when she was younger. If you're going spew bullshit at least come with some sprinkle of truth.
I've never heard a Somali girl say that, either. And the only ones who mention their Yemeni heritage are the one's who actually have it, and then only when it's relevant.
I think they get it from that
Shit Somalis Say video that went viral on the Somali grapevine, 'cuz that's the only place I've seen it. When we watched it over here, half the time we were like, "what the heck are these people on about?". Maybe they should've titled it,
What UK Somalis Say lol. I found the video...the reference is @ 3:00
