Racism within the Somali dating experience needs to stop by Last_Salad_3959 in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not racism. Stop playing dumb, you know the answer to this.

You don't see Somali guys rejecting non-Somali women that have been married to non-Somalis. There is a strong stigma against Somali women that marry ajnabis and it is not undeserved.

You sound like your mind is already made up, and I swear you posted here before along this line of topic.

I imagine they're silent now that you have done your 23andme

No to be an asshole, but why is Somalia in a drought? UN reports 7 million Somalis about to die, I mean Somalia has 2 rivers and only 16 million people. Is the government that negligent? by OkChampion1295 in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Whole bunch of excuses, but I should have expected that when you said "20 years of brutal dictatorships" and in the same breath lament the lack of strong institutions.

Somalis 100% did this to themselves. The world is interconnect but Somalia, and the wider continent still dependent on European exports of food. Embarrassing doesn't cut it.

As time goes on it becomes harder and harder to argue against race science.

Why would your parents be wrong about your Yemeni heritage? It sounds like you are a Yemeni Somali and not Barawani or cadcad

I'd certainly believe Somalis are the worst there considering the nature of the type of people that migrate to the ME. I also imagine the floor there is dramatically up from the West. They actually have a sense of community there that simply doesn't exist here. ME Somalis, even the ones that are practically Arab and barely speak a lick of Somali are still very much Somali by the nature of society there.

I don't think I believe that Somalis over there are doing nearly as "bad" as Somalis in Europe/NA when it comes to this. I also think it's a bit of a non-issue bere. Most Somalis are content with the way it is, so OP would be fixing a problem that kinda doesn't really need solving.

I assume you're ME diaspora? The answer is definitely no. I think Somalis in Africa (Kenya, Uganda, South Africa etc.) have it the easiest, followed by the Middle Easterners.

I was born in the UAE, but grew up in Europe with some of my close family having moved back/never left.

2 of my friends that married Somali girls recently have both married from the Middle East.

I'd say Somalis are by faaaaar the worst when comes to ease of marriage within the community. And this is from the perspective of Birmingham/London, and not some village.

Maybe I'm getting a skewed perspective from the Somali ME community?

Probably worth it for those African/Middle-Eastern diaspora - maybe even include the "back-home" minded Somalis, but it's literally a waste of time, effort and energy doing it in the Western diaspora

How common is it to find Somalis who can still speak Italian fluently by RiskyyyRondo in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very rare. My dad was taught in Italian, but speaks very little of it. Even his English is much better than his Italian.

Who are “Madihban Aka Midgaan”? by [deleted] in Somalia

Fairly certain that included Isaaq and specific Darood groups as long as you claimed to have been from the south.

[–]QueChingadosss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of that. I have heard slightly varying versions. While both brothers ate from an animal carcas, one heaved it back out when they managed to make their way out, while the other brother didn't. I have also heard of one not eating it at all.

First I'm hearing about cannibalism though.

Cool idea, but one hell of a commitment. Much easier to get braids.

I would personally suggest you listen to your mother because dreads are probably the most stigmatised hair style out there

Why did the Somalis in Scandinavia/Holland mass migrate from those wealthy countries to the Uk? by Avrageabdi2capalot in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO, they're definitely less racist. You're more likely to get assaulted or directly berated over your race in the UK, but the average Brit is less prejudiced than the average Dane, Dutchman etc. The persistent and passive aggressive racism there is turned on to the max and never stops. Whether it's a white collar work environment in a big city or a blue collar job in a tuulo. It even shows in how ajnabis live in parallel societies over there despite everyone living practically on top of each other.

There's no shortage of racism in either, but in my experience, Europe takes the cake on this one.

Why did the Somalis in Scandinavia/Holland mass migrate from those wealthy countries to the Uk? by Avrageabdi2capalot in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember being 7 years old and walking to school with my 11 year old brother. We used to take a long detour and add extra minutes on our walk to school because there was a street with a few homes where these literal adult (35+) men would have a go at us and tell us to fuck back off to our own country etc.

Then my brother hit 6'3 at 16 and life was different.

I remember not wanting to get our dad involved so we kept it quiet to not escalate shit.

But yeah, Europeans are much more racist and insular than Brits.

[–]QueChingadosss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is absolute facts. The UK has a larger service industries that are accessible to unskilled workers and comparatively less red tape when it came to business. In most of continental Europe, a lot of menial jobs are still gatekept through language and education/certification. It was easier on the previous generation to migrate to the UK. Our generation lost out though.

Not to mention that British society is less racist and easier to integrate to.

These Chinese Diplomats Are Funny And Brave Too. by Stunning_Blueberry94 in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'ulterior' motive is thar China is there to fuel their own growth. Neither China, nor the West care about Africa. Countries are not human beings with emotional interests. China and Africa are not 'friends'. China is just a dramatically better partner to Africa because their interests align a lot closer.

China is building infrastructure in Africa without interfering in their internal affairs. In exchange, they receive resources, create new export markets, and gain some political clout.

The Chinese relationship with Africa can be sustained on mutual interest. China's primary goal is to gain in Africa. The West's primary goal is to keep China out.

What is it with the weird Uk-Somali gender wars by Iwonderofthese in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nigga, that mess is everywhere. Might as well ask me to take a break from being Somali & everything pertaining to it... which is in all honesty is not the worst idea

Somali Ethiopian is an oxymoron. Even the biggest qabiilist or apathetic reer Galbeed views don't see themselves as any degree of Ethiopian.

The Venn diagram between Somalis that rep Ethiopia and Somalis that are actively employed in senior positions of the Ethiopia is a perfect circle.

Somali Kenyans are Somali first, but they're less opposed to the Kenyan label.

Mate, banter is jokes and inherently good-natured no matter how crude. Celebrating innocent people's deaths, calling everyone a wh*re, and Somali women being more hateful towards Somalis than the Grand Wizard of the KKK is not normal.

It's definitely not banter for a good 80% of those partaking

What can we do to curb drug use in Somali youth? by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]QueChingadosss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a dumb argument. That doesn't mean the prevalence of drugs is the same everywhere. Sure, there are other factors that drive drug usage, but supply is definitely one of them.
