What ATLmali said is pretty accurate in north america
Fitness culture is huge here. Especially in the south where lots of young men participate in youth sports. You rarely see young Somali guys in great shape compared to everyone else because most of our parents didn't allow us to participate in sports. The luugo baasto stereotype would have disappeared if most of us in north america actually competed in something. We wouldn't have a bunch of yusuf7n variants roaming around if fitness was part of our culture

.
Having too many skinny and fat niggas is a bad look for us. I'm expecting this to change in the future since the children of Gen Z will be a lot more privileged than us. It still sucks to see a lot of young Somali niggas discovering fitness culture way later than most people here in the west.
Also I honestly cringe Everytime I see a nigga post about "Somali genes" when it comes to building muscle. These niggas cry about their gains just because they don't look like Bobby lashley after 6 months of lifting
Lots of AAs, Cadaans, west Africans, and even Caribbeans legit compete in youth sports for most of their school years. Even if most of them never get college offers they still graduate high school in elite shape. These young Somali dudes crying about their gains compare themselves to these madow and Cadaan dudes that have been training way longer than them.
"many somali girls have come to me and said «you dont have the typical somali body» which is quite telling of the situation"
Shit like this literally shouldn't be said. There should be enough buff Somali niggas around to the point people aren't shocked to see a buff Somali nigga.
