what is an ethnic somali?

[empressjamila]

I said "many, if not most". Meaning if not most then many for sure.

I am saying in the last four or five generations of your family (probably hundreds of people), one probably married an ajnabi, bantu, arab or cad cad.

That is not a mad claim. A mad claim is if I said everyone in Somalia has foreign blood.

My paternal side of the family is baadiye from the middle of Somalia and I have some relatives that have married cad cads or ajnabi or arabs.

Yea I have some foreign ancestry myself (great grandmother). I still say I’m full Somali bc claiming mixed when you’re only 1/8 of another ethnicity is stupid

More Somalis have mixtures like that than people would like to think. Not everybody, but many

Exactly my point. Admitting that sort of thing doesn't make you any less of a wadani.

Lool so a 87.5% Somali doesn’t count?

Sorry, anyone less than 95%, are somewhat somali mix whatever percentage, i thoughy i was 100% somali but i turn out 3/4 somali and the rest ajanabi

Lool 25% is a lot though that’s crazy that you didn’t know. Is your fam cadcad?

87.5% is practically full Somali bruh i can round that up to 95%, light work

12.5% is a lot as well , thats 1/8, at max you can round off to 90%. No i dont have any cadcad or reer xamar etc... i am actually way up from the north parts of somalia.

We have to change the name of the country. Have 5 recognised ethnicities in our country with equal rights. Somali, Somali bantu, benadaris, oromos, bejunis. When we do that, clannism will die out.

no

 

[digaagjecel]

99.5 percent somali over here! Wallahi this is bull shit my sister scored 100% and she doesn’t care about being somali. She likes Korean people and watches Kdramas all day.

Yes they have lived for close to a millenium apart from the somali Madow who some were brought as slaves.But Somali Madow have somali cushitic blood.

Somalis never mixed with them. Sleeping with slaves wasn’t practiced like cadaans or arabs

Even for baadiye, one of your uncles or your grandfather's brother might have married a non-Somali. They might not be a blood relative but part of your family.

Not many, if any, country in Africa can say that. This is why I find Somalia very unique, its that we've truly been multicultural for centuries. Until recently, there was no social taboos with intermarriage, as long as your significant other was a good person, no-one had a problem.

What is your agenda? If Somalis back then were so pro-miscegenation, surely we would have looked like Brazil today with the amount of foreign people we have come into contact with, yet chose to stay homogeneous all that time Your message is complete horse-shit

If the Somali government gives me Somali citizenship who is going to deny me that? You can cry about genetic purity all you want, I got my papers sxb

What thing is useless?

 

[HiraanBorn]

Purity and all that is nonsense, only citizenship is what counts these days.

 

[digaagjecel]

Citizenship is useless as of right now. What benefits does a citizen have over a non-citizen somali in somalia.
