Proximity to whiteness

[FortniteLover]

You are contradicting yourself and mixing two different things

How has all this stemmed from me saying somalis are featurist. I would even admit myself I'm featurist. I associated a narrow nose with whiteness and everyone disagreed. I never once said it's not a Somali feature too. Two things can be true at once.

The same person Saying bleaching is recent from this decade further proves proximity to whiteness. That has to be aligning yourself with western cadaan beauty standard. Darksin and long hair used to be the standard but probably now from foreign shows and inspiration bleaching is the craze

You guys are arguing over Somalis being featurist over stereotypical somali features, but if they were they wouldn't be hyping up every year the one football player that isn't even ethnic, but more exotic and mixed. That Djibouti player who first of all does look good, is getting hyped up but she dont look Somali in the slightest. Or like I said that Galmudug player 2 years ago

Bollywood is popular in Somalia nobody is aligning themselves with western Cadaan beauty standards bffr.Thats literally the only reason why bleaching has become a craze.

This is a big thing in India and derives from the caste system. Pakistanis rarely ever talk about caste, to be honest, although they have it. But there is a unique tribe in their mountains that can definitely produce very fair-skinned people and mixed phenotypes.

To caste obsessed Indians, white people are the next level because they maximize those aryan characteristics. It is no coincidence that Brahmins, the highest caste, have the highest level of steppe ancestry.

I have never met a Pakistani who considers themselves white. But I have heard of online Indians who support far-right racist groups and somehow think they are an exception when they look brown. It's because they are high caste in their society and think whites will recognize this somehow.

The Pashtuns are not Indo-Aryan but Iranian peoples. They do not have a caste. Those lighter-looking Pakistanis have related but also different backgrounds.

There are some Kalash who look white, and it is likely because they have high Steppe and genetic Iranian ancestry.

This is how the Kalash look genetically:

Their ancestors belong to at least three separate ancient civilizations:

IVC (Indus Valley).
BMAC (Bactria-Margiana Archeological Complex).
Scytho-Siberian region, West Asian mixture.
They also got high Steppe ancestry, which is from the Kazakhstan region of the Bronze Age.

They look unique because they have a distinct mixed background.

Bro I saw those tiktoks and was disturbed seeing all the comments.

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

Some shift probably happened in the last 20-15 years. Qurbajoog women young and old don't bleach, and older women look down on those who bleach if they heard someone does. Ask your mom if one of your sibling should skin bleach.

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

“If we weren’t so black we’d be colourist too”

Is this some kind of sick joke or are you being deadass rn?

 

[Daisybilaawe]

Cadaans don’t even have small noses on average why are you lying? When do you see Somalis wishing they had coloured eyes and blonde hair like south Asians and Arabs do? When do you see Somalis bragging about some imaginary tribe back home with light eyes and light hair like North Africans, Asians and Arabs do? Our beliefs are nowhere near as bad. We have mixed people in Somalia and none of us look to them for representation like these Pakistanis are doing with their lighter people. If anything Somalis want ethnic Somalis to be our representation as much as possible.

We have our issues just like most of the world but it’s really not as bad as some of you make it out to be on here.

Unironically the same long Jewish nose that cadaans ridicule are found in them the most, they have very long and thin and bumpy noses Somalis on the other hand have more thin and small noses.

Just look at old photos even from 2018, there was no bleaching , it’s a very recent thing

Why would I not be serious.

If the thread is saying Indians are trying to be cadaan and somalis are trying to be indian fill in between the lines.
