I know immigration is good but we can't have immigration that is to the level of America. look at America. nearly 20% of its population is hispanic. that is so much. we can't let neighbours become 20% of Somalia

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

you really think 20% is bad i've seen worse

we’re small enough to do it like Switzerland in terms of nation building. tourism,trade, resources. lotta somalis in finance aswell.

My point isn't about that.

It was a commentary on how diverse ppl like cad cads, bantus etc have arrived in Somalia and integrated well compared to other minority ethnic groups in Africa.

Find a country in which minority ethnic groups have integrated better (i.e live together, speak same language, same religion etc).

But the groups of minorities are treated as second class citizens.

I get what they're saying. Somalia has only a few languages and we are all Muslim.

Doesn’t change the fact that these groups of people are treated like how cadaans treated madows in 1827.

that's facts. but im pretty sure they're talking about culturally they've integrated. socially not much

I'm not saying its ideal or perfect but much better than South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya etc. where society is divided on ethnic lines.

As someone that has lived back home, I can almost certainly say the average Somali citizen does not care about ethnicity today. During Kacaan era and before, it was much different.

Also SomaliSpot is probably the worst place to get an accurate gauge of Somali opinion.

 

[MinnesotFaarax]

I think the confusion with what is Somali comes from the demonym of Somalia being "Somalis".

Laymans terms: A citizen of Somalia is called Somali but at the same time an ethnic Somali is called Somali.

Either we change the term of which we refer to Somalis to dreaded "Somalian", in order to remove confusion or we stay arguing over what and who is Somali.

Because if Somali citizens are called Somalian, then a cad cad is a Somalian but not Somali. However, if Somali citizens are called Somali, then a bantu is a Somali by definition but not a Somali by practicality.

Well then what does Cadcad mean? My paternal grandfather was a lightskin man from Lascaanood, is he cadcad?

Cadcad is a term used to describe the Benadiri people. These people are mixed race group that live in Mogadishu and Barawe primarily, you might know them as reer xamar or reer barawe or barawani.

Arab Somalis (Yemenis etc.), unless they have married in or been accepted into Benadiri groups, are not considered cad cad traditionally.

You cannot recreate what a Somali is despite ancient admixture they are homogenous aka autosomally uniform. They are not like newly admixed populations that are highly variable. Ethnic Somalis are a group unto themselves. And obviously you cannot simply join any mainstream Somali tribe as a non-ethnic.
