Proximity to whiteness

[trf]

nigga is talking out of his ass saying Somalis are featurist because of valuing proximity to whiteness. We like our OWN features, if we didn't we'd be out there getting nose jobs and shit like dhegcas and TJs do

If we wanted to be white you’d see a lot more contacts and fake blondes too. We look nothing like cadaans

 

[FortniteLover]

When do you see Somalis bragging about some imaginary tribe back home with light eyes and light hair

Would love to know of any tribes back home with this. Also Somalis are dark skin it wouldn't even make sense to use contacts for lighter eyes or dye your hair blonde. If we were lighter we probably would. The closest things ppl can do is try and look arab by bleaching.

Cadaans don’t even have small noses on average why are you lying?

They literally do. North and central europeans do compared to other races. Its more stereotypically a white trait

Somalis want ethnic Somalis to be our representation as much as possible.

You'll only use the ethnic somalis with jileec hair lighter skin and nicer features lbr. Ain't nobody having a darksin wide nosed kinky haired ethnic somali as represention for beauty

Cadaans don’t even have small noses on average why are you lying?

Ngas back home literally bleach, make fun of you for having wide features and kinky hair and you think that doesn't have anything to do with whiteness. The beauty standards is literally bleached skin

Why would somalis have to get the nose job when they already have a narrow nose

What’re you yapping about. No Somali is out here trying to look white. Not everyone is mentally colonized.

My point was that browns brag about made up European passing people from their countries and Somalis don’t. Nobody goes “we’ve got cad cads from Somalia and they’re so beautiful they have light skin and eyes ” the same way browns do with people from their countries.

Whites do not have tiny, upturned button noses on average. You need to go outside. Their noses are long as f*ck. That’s why they get the most nose jobs How are they paying to look like themselves when the majority don’t have it? Most white female celebrities have gotten nose jobs. It shouldn’t stereotypically be a white trait when they’re getting plastic surgery for it and more Horn Africans have it on average.

“You'll only use the ethnic somalis with jileec hair lighter skin and nicer features lbr. Ain't nobody having a darksin wide nosed kinky haired ethnic somali as represention for beauty”?? Lol what. Every Somali model has been brown or dark skinned. Most Somali female influencers with a lot of followers are brown to dark skin. Diaspora Somali girls root for Somali girls that actually look like us. Even the Somali dramas/shows back home have brown skin ethnic Somali women as the protagonists.

“Niggas back home make fun of you for having wider features” - things that didn’t happen. We do not have wide features you’re on crack

 

[FortniteLover]

when majority of ethnic Somalis don’t have that

You could use the same argument when ppl use Somalis with way too soft like Indian hair or look like more exotic. Its like that guy who was playing for the galmudug team. Everyone was going crazy over him the same way ppl are gassing up the Djibouti girl who was playing football.

Soft, curly hair is one of the most common hair types for Somalis. We shouldn’t be proud of that anymore? Only girls and boys with afros which isn’t as common? Would that make us more prideful people?

Folks are choosing to not read anymore. I said they have narrower noses. And ur talking about middle Eastern and Jews. Ur average cadaan isn't getting a nose job. Using celebrities as reasoning isn't rlly fair too

It shouldn’t stereotypically be a white trait when they’re getting plastic surgery for it and more Horn Africans have it on average.

I'm not saying narrow noses aren't Somali traits but I'm saying they're also white traits so ppl use it go compare each other. I'm not even tryna day anything controversial.

Every Somali model has been brown or dark skinned

Models has nothing to do with beauty standards. If u look uncanny enough you'll make it far

Diaspora Somali girls root for Somali girls that actually look like us.

Wdym with this too

Niggas back home make fun of you for having wider features” - things that didn’t happen.

Guys are lying as if having a wider nose and afrocentric features isn't looked as ugly. Or bleaching and stuff like that

Tf have I said that's made me not somali

Haye hee

Then why everyone back home skin bleaching? That alone disproves ur statement.

Skin bleaching in our community is a recent thing in the last ten years, many young women have seen the effects and dangers of skin bleaching and soon will decline .

Let's not lie to ourselves, South Asians are colourists and somalis are featurist. If we weren't so black we'd be colourist too. Only thing saving us from looking like other Africans is our hair and features like our nose so most ppl wear that like a badge of honour. And that has got to do with proximity to whiteness. Idk why we're acting like we don't have the same beliefs

It’s not proximity to whiteness since those are our features, how about the whites have our features , why give credit to them every time

That doesnt mean that those aren't somali features too. All of this is a comparison to western beauty standards. Which is the cadaan look. I'm simply comparing it

You are contradicting yourself and mixing two different things
