For us Somalis, Interracial marriage with foreign cultures that are fairly or closely adjacent to Somali culture would fair better than with people from cultures that have little/zero similarity with Somalis.

In the case of IR Marriage with a person from a highly alien culture, religion alone won’t close the cultural gap, unless one side decides to abandon their culture and embrace the culture of their partner as their own.

MENA/Afro-Asiatics would be your best bet if you want the least cultural clash in an interracial marriage.

People should marry whoever they desire, but there are terms one must accept before venturing out.

As a women your children will never be Somali, no matter how much you teach them about your ancestors ways. They will also become victim of the most extreme version of bullying. Imagine a young innocent child being reject by an entire community, they were raised to believe they belonged to.

And in the event you’re divorced from your ajinabi hero in shinning armor, only bottom tier Somali men without options, will be available to you to marry. Or low class Somali/Ajinabi men seeking only temporary arrangements.

As a man you children will always be half Somalis and will be considered lower in statues, then those born to two Somalis parents.

When your children are being addressed their ajinabi mothers will alway be brought up, exp “ waa ina Axmed, ina Axmed Ayo? War waa kii/tii naagti Carabiyad ahayd ay dhashay. This isolates the child and makes him/her feel different to other kids, which will make him/her a perfect target for bullying. identity crisis achieved, this is the main reason interracial kids always marry out. Because they never had a sense of belonging.

Put the future of your children ahead of your temporary desires, or don’t and have them pay for your ignorant choices.
 
This is why Somalis aren't fit for marrying out. Imagine being a ajnabi that married a Somali and they want for you to pretend as if you're Somali. Speak their language, eat their cuunta, etc. These Somalis should cut their losses and stop marrying out.
This is what the dominate culture of any one who mixes out of there ethnicity does its not a somali thing some one adopts the other partners culture in the relationship

The world has become globalized. Those terms you’re talking about are eroding. People are more and more okay with IR. It is what it is.

Again, in the real world, no one cares. We don’t treat our nephews and neices with ajnabi mothers differently.

Lol, kids with Arab fathers aren’t disrespected let alone one with an Arab mother. It really isn’t that deep for us as long as the mother isn’t midgaan, Somali Bantu or madow.

You lot keep bringing up "globalisation" as if that matters. Except for the west, the societies of the world still maintain their culture. If you are a half breed in Japan, China, India, Egypt, Nigeria, Russia so on. You will be disrespected and viewed as not completely part of the group, sometimes there may be an exception for if your other half is a related/close ethnicity. But the point still stands, you will never be considered a full somali, you will always be half. Even in the progressive society of England I see my half madow half cadaan friends get disrespect from English folk before my eyes. Stop pretending this isn't an issue because we live in some "new age". Humans are not gonna change just because of globalisation, which is slowly started to come to a halt anyways due to the return of a multipolar world.

The main group of half Somalis that would get treated the same as a full would be those intermixed with other Horners.

Somali is always better or any more close society to us, Yemenis, Afars, Oromos. Further than that preferred not to go there.
Yes I agree. Other northeast africans are a good choice if one is marrying out. And of course,fellow Somalis too.

In what universe are mixed/biracial Somalis being bullied? Nobody treats them differently irl. “Ajinabi hero in shining armor” lol. Some of you guys need to learn to hide your resentment towards women who marry out and be normal. You tried to sound all neutral and based but it comes off so cringey.

Not relevant to the topic but the majority of mixed Somalis are agnostic (culturally muslim) or atheist; if you marry out, don’t be surprised when your children and grandchildren don’t care for religion.
