Turks, Indians, Pakistanis, and various Arab communities have been living in the West for over half a century, yet I don’t observe the same kind of overfamiliarity directed at them that I often notice with Somalis, who’ve only been in the West for about 30 years.

On social media, you will see non-Somalis casually using Somali words, sometimes even forming full sentences, under content specifically geared toward Somalis.

In real life, some feel comfortable shouting things like “warya,” “naya,” or “Abdi” at Somalis they’ve never met. That kind of unsolicited familiarity doesn’t seem to be directed at the other groups mentioned, despite their longer and more established presence. What explains this disproportionate overfamiliarity with Somalis in particular?

Thoughts?

i dont mind if its good

I knew it was common! I think it affects women more with strangers, but men are more likely to get it from their friends than women are.

Yes it's always a stranger this has happened to me so many times because I'm very visibly somali and all my friends and family are pissed at it as well it is common. Once there was a somali boy who just stood there and let them while these TJs called me warya because I walked away after not wanting to talk with them bc they were strangers like what?????

We gotta be honest about some of these teen boys. A decent amount of these guys grew up in neighborhoods with no Somali community. To fit in they let racism slide just to survive and make friends.

I got lucky honestly. In the areas I lived I was usually one of the first somalis these folks met. Never experienced any hostility because I was Somali. From ages 12-18 I only went to school with like 4 other somalis. 2 of them graduated during my freshman year of high school. Even without a bunch of somalis with me I still had a decent amount of friends. My teen years weren't ruined because of bullies.
I mainly hung out with the guys that lived in my neighborhood who were mostly madow, and African. I was also close friends with the somali guys that lived around me.

I literally never had to depend on Cadaans, Arabs, and Asians people for friendship. I was honestly surprised when I saw UK somalis talking about their Asian and Arab friends. Here in the states most Somali niggas mainly hang out with other somalis. The main ajnabis I've seen hanging out with Somali niggas were usually African Americans or Ethiopians. Most of the time it's because we share the same neighborhoods as these people.

I've only met like 2 Somali niggas my whole life who exclusively hung out with south Asians and Arabs. Both of these lads were pretty religious.

It has nothing to do with the Internet.

This use to happen to me and I hated it growing up, this wa before social media was really a thing. Ajnabi coming up to saying words like abaha was or warya, nayaa. Asking about qabils. Asking about Somaliland/Somalia etc etc. Telling me that Somaliland is different to Somalia .

Clearly all of this information was given to them by Somalis themselves. And its mainly Somali boys/men who told them all of this because it was never ajnabi women who talked to me about this, it was always ajnabi men, who then proceeded to tell me they had Somali friends.

Somali UK ppl are weak, especially the men. These ajnabis don't tell them anything about their lives and their countries. Imagine if we went up to a random Kurd, Pakistani,Arab etc etc and starting talking to them about their business.. they would lose it.

Laakin, weak Somali men in the UK, have let these ajnabis disrespect us.

Where am from they didn't know Somalia exists that's why every random guy in class would ask where am from no one ever non Somali said to me Somali words because they don't have Somali friends since there wasn't any, I was the only Somali there lol

It's cause here there isn't much Somalis unlike London

Great point. Unsolicited opinions, and straight up obsession. This aint healthy at all. I’ve recently had some episodes on shaqo where other collegues «test the air» but I check them imedeatly and set the presedence. Once they get to know you have no boundaries weird questions gonna come up all of a sudden. For the slow ones «who doesnt take it to heart» listen behind the words, and what they really mean dont bahdil your self

Some bengali middle aged guy called me walaalo from a cafe across the street when i was going to dugsi on tuesday
I looked over Never seen the man in my life but he was obviously looking at me
I just awkwardly waved and moved on
There is some sort of parasocial relationship going on here I felt like a japanese man encountering a weeb
