POLL: What do you identify as

[CaliTedesse]

Transracial caucasian should be an option.

Why are you against diversity @CaliTedesse you bigot?

Diversity is meant to weaken the Arabs. We are stronger as an Arab identity. Why be part of small group if you can be part of a big one.

Everyone who has identified as Arab for centuries is Arab. Anyone who feels Arab is Arab. That's why me as African as I look if I stood up to a Arab and said I was Arab too. He could not say a thing.

I talked with a few Syrian Christians who only speak Arabic as a native language and still said they are not Arab.

That's a touchy subject some do, some don't but mostly the Christian ones out of hatred for Muslims don't especially if they move to the West and they do so to get cozy to Westerners also. Waa buttlickers. How you want to go from noble Arab to conquered and Roman slave Phoenician baffles me.

Most normie Somalis who aren't aware of the term are still aware that people like NE Sudanese, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Afars and Somalis are related somehow.

I've seen fobs on instagram agree that we are "African oo Kushitic ah" and reject the Arab nonsense.

 

[IstarZ]

I honestly believe somalis who identify as arabs should be sectioned.

Somali and nothing else.

People claim that identify politics is bad, but it seems like it is the easiest way to gain votes (not about this thread, but about mainstream politics).

Virtually all AAs voted for Obama, but when it came to Hillary Clinton too many of them stayed at home for Trump to win.

True but they don’t really care that much. They value politics over blood anyway

How are Somalis Arab?

 

[YourBroMoe]

Somali, Cushite, Black.

Somali cause of ethnicity
Cushite because of subgroup
Black because of race

Due to historical cultural influence, so long as it's not based on racist thoughts, I don't see a problem with ppl saying Arab too, but Arab culture was never a part of my life, so I can't relate.

 

[YourBroMoe]

How are Somalis Arab?

Arab isn't a race, but a cultural identity based around a language.

"True Arabs" would be Gulf Arabs, where Arabic originated.
Levant people got influenced next
Then North Africa
Certain parts of East Africa
Central Asia

But Somalis in my honest opinion have a very small claim to this. We never really stuck with the language, like countries in North Africa and the Levant. At most, our position in the Arab League, our history with Islam and the fact that Arabic is a secondary language in Somalia is literally the only things we can claim tbh.

Sudan has a larger claim, cause their people actually speak the damn language.

How are Somalis Arab?

Apparently culturally lmao I personally don't see it, even with cad cads and their carab and timo jileec tendencies, they are heavily Somalized.

As the local Suugo Scientist, let me tell you it is possible to have come from Arabia. However, things are not conclusive.
