Ion they met In college and through mutual friends. It was more coincidence then him going after nilotic women. And we come from a huge family, one boy marrying a non Somali is not the end of the world for us lol we don't care who he marries.
Fair enough.
You're a lot more open minded than I am. I didn't reveal it in the other thread but I'm speaking from experience when it comes to inter-cultural or interracial unions as it relates to family.
My sister is engaged to a white man and that made me terribly uncomfortable, and I'm still not entirely at ease with it ; she's smart and hardworking... so I trust that she made the right choice for herself -- my discomfort and opposition to that relationship notwithstanding.
I never expressed my discomfort to her, because she already knew that I was not going to immediately embrace her relationship; due to my ethnic pride, the poor girl was visibly nervous when she told me about the relationship and I felt bad that she felt like that.
I decided to chill and acknowledge that my sister is not my child and is an adult (a smart one at that) and has every right to make her own decisions.
We come from a conservative culture, so my dear father would have vetoed the whole thing had he not died 5 years ago.
My uncles and aunties are completely opposed, but my mother and I have kept them at bay and prevented them from intervening.
With the passing of our father, culture dictates that I be recognised as the custodian of the family...
..It's very antiquated and teribly silly and I don't believe in the extreme nature of it all, but I have to invoke it (and pretend to believe in it) in order to protect my angel of a sister.
I would be hypocritical if I didn't reveal that I actually will discourage my future sons and daughters from marrying out.
It's just not for me. Apologies for the wall of text.
