You are saying I made this personal but YOU made this a generalization by claiming all men in the comments complaining are misogynistic!It is absurd. Peoples lived experiences, identity and their very existence do not go once they say ‘I do’. How does that apply to a ‘race mixer’. Does a Londoner stop having a better understanding of where they grew up if they marry someone from Manchester? I have to make the analogy that simple because of how slow you’re coming across?
On a personal level, I’m not a fan of mixed unions but I am able to use my logic. You’re siding with a Turk with 0 ties to Somalia from a nation that is literally trying to exploit our resources over an actual Somali whose entire lineage is Somali and has only ever been Somali.
What you marry doesn’t take precedence over what you are. It doesn’t take over what you know of your own region and culture.
The fact that you’re making this personal and are now trying to talk about what id go for whilst I’m with a Somali and would only ever be with a Somali is telling. This isn’t political for you, it’s an obsession with ownership.
Even men on this forum you don’t like IR can see what’s at play. Be political savvy and don’t let your emotions cloud you.
I would have the same opinion regardless of gender, yet you made this generalization first.
If you want or don't want a mixed relationship that is your business, but is not important to the discussion.
The simple facts of the matter are the following:
Turkish poster does a lot of research on somalia and has an informed opinion
Somali woman claps back by mentioning he is ajnabi
Posters here point out she is married to an ajnabi
If being ajnabi inherently means your opinion doesn't matter regardless of it being informed or not, then one can make the same statement about race mixing.
The statement is arbitrary because where you come from doesn't actually make your opinion inherently better or worse.
The ultimate proof of this is the tribal elitism plaguing somalia, the people in the country itsself are making stupid decisions despite being somali and completely informed on their own situation.
Being somali doesn't make your opinion good, being ajnabi doesn't make your opinion bad, the content of those opinions is the only thing that matters.
My point is simple, if race makes your opinion useless, then race mixing makes your opinion useless.
If it doesn't, then neither does the latter.
"This isn’t political for you, it’s an obsession with ownership."
This again shows you can't read properly, I never had the opinion that race mixing is bad, I had the opinion that IF you can ignore someone's opinion over race, then the same can be done about race mixing.
This is a point based in the same exact racism the woman showed, I don't care about race mixing and if my sister was approached by an excellent muslim man of another race I would help her get married.
I hate racism, and I think this entire exchange shows that people can't handle the racism when its suddenly not on their side.
