A Somali without Somali friends is one or more of the following:
1. Lives in the middle of nowhere
2. Wasn't exposed to them growing up
3. Post-ethnoracial
4. Has internalized Somaliphobia (a condition where one soaks in negative stereotypes about your people and chooses to disassociate for this reason, rather than viewing them in a case-by-case manner like they would with other people.)
5. Previous experiences with a few unsavoury types.
It's Somalophobia™
I didn't grow up around many Somalis so I'm quite fair in my assessment. :siilaanyolaugh: Just look at SSpot. The anti-Somali narrative is strong here. Somaliophobis, indeed. :siilaanyosmile:
Are you in university? Luckily I lived around Somalis so I had Somali friends all my life. But in uni I met some of the most genuine Somali ppl, its very easy to make Somali friends there.I used to be that type of person who would try harder to befriend Somalis compared to ajnabis but now idc. Most Somalis i've tried to befriend in school especially were rude and disliked me for no reason.
Majority of my friends are ajnabis and I dont have a Somali friend I consistently speak to. #sorrynotsorry
Somali parents should teach their children manners.
It's Somalophobia™
Example:
I'm surprised this is actually a thing.So sad I didn't coin it first.
You will probably meet some likeminded Somalis in uni inshallah.No i'm not.
We just have a different kind of energyHalf of my friends are somali and it’s never a dull moment
You will probably meet some likeminded Somalis in uni inshallah.
I’ve even been told by non somalis how exciting shit is when they’re around somalisWe just have a different kind of energy
I dont base my friends off of race or ethnic groups. If you happen to be a friend of mine that's Somali then that's coolYou will probably meet some likeminded Somalis in uni inshallah.
I've never been a somalophobe but sure was a somalianphobe.
I disagree because as a Somali you could try to be friends with many Somalis and at the same time, they still shut you out and don't want to be friends with you.Please explain your disapproval. @xalimathe6
