Are Half-Somalis considered as "Somalis"?

[paramedic]

I knew it. Somalis don't really accept Half-Somalis as "Somalis". I've proved my argument

Only thing Somalis have left is their blood, so they're tightly clinging onto it

Western Somalis should become like Jews, but even stricter when it comes to blood, and do institutionalized nepotism.


We need a Somali version for the word goy.

They're already like that here

It is too much oriented towards Islam. Lower class white trash and ex-con blacks are sneaking into the Somali community under the guise of the Ummah.

I don't mean the salafi crowd I mean young Somalis in general only date and mostly hang out with only other Somalis.

It depends on a few things such as what they are mixed with if it is bantu/black then no.

ie Somali Dad AA mother

Somalis will accept mixes with whites/arabs if they are socially somali and are in touch with our culture.

We will also accept certain Ethiopian/Eritrean mixes
Somali (father) half Tigrinya (mother).

By the way, you should never call them Salafi. That is doing them a service. Always refer to them as Wahhabis.

Well I have no problem with them but I understand what you're saying.

Wow, they don't even look Somali tbh.

 

[SuldaanGuled]

exactly. Where tf did this term of half Somali come from even??? We don't call reer xamar people "1/6th" somali or some bs like that. You're either Somali or not.

Actually majority of reer xamar aren't somali as they are of a different lineage what has happened is that over the centuries they've adopted the somali culture and language to such an extent that they've become somalised. The reer xamar do know that their lineage is different from ours but i suspect that it's hard for them to trace back their actual genealogy.

Here is the interesting fact even though somali is an ethnicity it also refers to a citizen of somalia. What this means is that a non-somali can be considered to be a somali on a citizenship basis. Somalis consider reer xamar to be "somalis" simply because they espouse somali culture and language and not due to lineage.

It depends on the way the act, their personal beliefs etc, to be honest.
You have half Somali and half cadaans and wallahi sometimes its better not to consider them Somalis,
whereas you also have halfies who are more Somali than a 100% Somali

What are we reer xamars then???

If i were to ever come across a Somali that said my little girl isn't one bit Somali, I'd punch the c*nt on the throat.

I've always had the view, even before my daughter's birth, that any mixed person who's father is Somali, is a Somali no matter what.

 

[VixR]

There is a hierarchy from what I've noticed.

1) Half-Arab = Somalis immediately accept, because Somalis love Arabs, "Anta Arab".
2) Half-Caadan = Somalis don't accept it but some do, due to colorism.
3) Half-Asian = Somalis don't accept it, but some do, due to having "timo-jileec".
4) Half-Black = Somalis absolutely do not accept, no matter what.

This is actually true wallahi

I consider half-Somalis their own thing, unless they identify as Somali, which most often if the father is Somali they're far less likely to than if the mother is, esp if the other half is non-Muslim.

 

[Unstable]

As long as the father is Somali the child is Somali has got to be the most idiotic statement. If Somali male knocks up 200 pound Tongan woman, their offspring will be considered Somali.

Stand any half Somali next to a pure Somali Geeljire and the difference striking.

It takes two full blooded Somalia, to create a Somali.

If you mother and father both aren't pure blood Somali, you aren't Somali, it is that simple.

Only those with self esteem issues, self confidence issues and hatred for ones race would allow half castes into the Somali sanctuary, get some god damn pride people

I've seen this a majority of the time, which is why I made that list.

This is a sentiment alot of Somalis have within the Somali community. This is what I was trying to say, that alot of Somalis don't care if the dad is Somali and carries the qabiil, as long as the mom isn't Somali, then the kid ain't Somali .

What are we reer xamars then???

ii sheeg abtirsigada & i'll tell you abaayo

Reer xamar ya katahay ?

Try asking people who're knowledgeable about your history they might be able to help out more, i'm not certain but from the little that i know you guys have diverse backgrounds like carab, persian, swahili etc.
