@ifkanolosha You can screenshot the negative and racist comments as much as you want but there's plenty of posts detailing an alternative viewpoint to yours with respect. I think your bias must be pointed out. Your child is multi-ethnic. This is fact. So you are biased by default.
Your child has as much a connection to somalia as they do to america. You can raise him as Somali and he might adopt Somali culture fully. He might choose instead to identify as American. Regardless you yourself are westernised so the likelihood is that he will present as American.
This
will never be the same as this
And this half somali man
will never be this
Put some respect on our bloody ancestors and stop trying to erase them from history.
I'm not saying your kids won't be accepted. I'm not saying they are doomed to never know or claim half of their culture. Because what you did was extrapolate the shit Somalis in your family and country and assumed all Somalis are mean to half Somalis. We have allowed people to live amongst us, mix with us and adopt our culture back home in Somalia for
centuries. We are historically a hospitable and good people. But does that mean that we let outsiders rename, reshape and adapt our image out of the goodness of their hearts? f*ck NO.
Being mixed with Somali is nothing new. There are whole ethnic groups in Somalia known to be ethnically and genetically not native. Your son isn't special. So yes he is not Somali. A DNA test and two healthy eyes can tell you that. Stop it.
Respect us for fucks sake and deal with the fact that your child has two cultures to represent in this world (Which is a unique and beautiful thing in itself). Your child didn't choose to be mixed. That's your choice. So stop forcing him to identify with only one side and stop trying to bully us into accepting him as equal to one of us genetically.
