Somalis in real life are usually less racist than online

Some years ago I was at dinner with some friends all Somalis born and raised in Somalia but living in the west. One dude said something extremely racist about somali Bantus and other africans in general using the J word. Everyone pretty much lost their mind and called him out telling him to stob being racist, that racism is haram and that he himself was lived in Kenya so it was hypocritical. I believe online trolls are nothing like real life Somalis, if you use the J word openly and say racist stuff people will be at the very least disgusted and they may call you out

It depends on what region they come from. Somalilanders will legit call people saanka dhuudi with no shame. I hear it all the time in real life. Let’s be honest.

With other Somalis they’re ‘intelligent’ enough not to say that shit to peoples faces. But they’ll make jokes iyo balaayo.

The only Somalis that are conscious are those who grew up in Mogadishu or their parents grew up in Mogadishu. Or they come from abroad and are well educated (generationally). Not even wadaads are beyond qabyalaad and racism,Even in their sermons you’ll hear the bigotry.

Somalis have a whole lot of work ahead of them to be considered cosmopolitan and worldly. Some more than others.

Good observation. Most of those people I was talking about were reer Mogadishu but from various backgrounds even from the north. I guess people in Mogadishu are more used to diversity in Somalia

it depends,on where you have been brought up! Somalis in Kenya are openly racist,I heard one aunty say adonka uyer, on the other hand Somalis in the West have grown up in a society where being openly Racist is shameful and unhinged

I have seen many of them see jaareers as troublemakers, not wanting their kids to hang out with them, they are definitely more racist than the younger generation, from my experience anyway.
Depends what you mean. I don't think the older generation has a problem with Somali Bantus as much as it has a problem with foreign Africans, white people etc
