Why do the Somali Guys who marry non-Somali women try to Somalize them?

Jimmy Fallon Comedy GIF by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon


They’re still somali, you can say they don’t have qabil but that doesn’t mean they aren’t somali.

They are part Somali as in Reer Apti but not Somali from our sociocultural viewpoint. Just like how you are not Half This Or Half That Qabil but strictly one Qabil.

You are who your Father is in Deen and Dhaqan!

People back home have no chill. If We attack each other because of Qabil, what chance does an Ajnabi with a Somali mother have? Heck even our citizenship laws clearly state if your father ain't a Somali, you can't get papers. The exception being long established Muwallads etc. Ain't saying our passport is prized but we gotta keep it real with those that wanna associate Ajnabi kids with Somalinimo because their Hooyo is Somali. I tell any that I meet, we are your Reer Apti but don't claim us, you ain't no Garac!

That's why less Somali male's decide to marry outside their culture in the west compared to Somali women, because they want to preserve their lineage and where as when a Somali women marrys out into another culture, their kids are not Somali by identity only by blood. Wa caruur nin islameed, and maxa ka qalay.

Somalis are very explicit about someone being considered Somali. In our culture and religion your heritage comes from the father. There are no intermediates. Even if you are genetically 50% Somali. There is no political correctness or room for nuance. Despite this your mother is where you get most of your cultural ties and spend most of your time. For a mixed race child you need a highly involved Somali father who is culturally overbearing to counteract the ajnabi mother's influence. If not the ajnabi mother should be very culturally knowledgeable and a fluent Somali speaker. Or there should at least be a strong connection with your paternal grandmother/relatives. And that might not even be enough. Also a solid religious connection is necessary. That might be the only thing keeping them 'Somali' for another generation. Otherwise, they'll just get absorbed by other gene pools which is often the case.

I think it's amazing tbh. They already married out, might as well teach the mother the culture they want the child to emulate since children do follow the mothers mostly.

in saudi arabia half saudis sith saudi moms are given "special foreign status". but not nationality. they get the same chance to education and employment and healthcare as locals. and living in the gulf you need sponsor. they get what you said "we are your reer abti soo dhawoow. laakiin boundaries ha ka gudbin".

Unfortunately, therefore lack of any wisdom
However anybody can join the Somali ethnic clan's, no matter where their fore father originated from, if they choose to do so, and they are welcome.
Your lying to yourself be honest especially someone with your name but to correct you somali is both an ethnic group and tribe its demographics consist only of clans/subclans

I think there should be an exception if the kid was born in Somalia, he (or she) is a Muslim, and has done good for Somalia. By having these criterias, then the kid is a Somali.

I met a guy named Rooble Melvin who has a Somali mom and whose father is an AA. He is a Muslim who is born in Somalia, but his father is a Christian. The guy loves Somalia to death and defends Somalia in many platforms. For someone like him, he is definitely a Somali.

Fellow SSpoters don't make the mistake of marrying an ajnabi. The marriage success rate in our community is really low as it is, and even lower with interracial marriages. You'll have confused kids that don't fit in anywhere.

Who the hell wants to look at kids that don't resemble them anyways.:susp:
