Dark skin xalimo claims dark skin xalimos are the most neglected in Somali households

[Sophisticate]

being light skinned even if your ugly ppl will be nice too u, they fear the darkness...

There are a lot of pale kids that get picked on from deviating from the norm. I could understand if you said people that are deemed attractive get lighter prison sentences but to say that people will avoid you for being dark-skinned is ridiculous. Since when were women of any shade deemed threatening.

Lol yeah, I don’t know if you know this but all new born babies are usually light skin, except if you look at their ears the color is different there and usually a good indicator of their true skin tone. I didn’t know this either until couple years ago when my friend had a baby and one of her aunt checked the baby’s ear and was like oh she won’t be light for long

@Knowles is now checking her baby's ears to see if it remains light for long

Really? You must be super unaware of your surroundings or haven’t been around many Somalis. Even at birth, Somali aunties look at the kid ear to see if she would be dark or light, Somali men in general are more into light skin girls. It’s a thing, it exist whether you want to believe it or not.

Again, tell me how that exclusion manifests itself on a societal level. Are they excluded? Are they marginalised?

The tweet says that they are ignored as if they are some kind of untouchables.

Subhallah

Suddenly the desire for light skinned babies makes sense. I don’t blame them. They’re just ensuring their kids don’t undergo the same abuse by shunning their dark male counterparts (most of whom are colorist anyway).

Isn’t it always the women that have it bad, you don’t see men being fat shammed either. I do think Somalis aren’t as bad as Asians, especially south Asians, in India apparently if you are dark skinned women, the groom can ask for more dowry

calgary,canada. you ever been here?

 

[simulacrum]

Just say you don't attract the the type of men you want and move on. Color is a trivial issue in the Somali community.

Her husband is an ex-Salafi turned rightwinger and blogs about race and IQ/far-right stuff. Imagine that being your father.

Those kids (she has like 4 or 5) are going to end up being confused as hell.

He was a right-winger to begin with.

Enough said. :siilaanyolaugh:

No, dark men aren’t actively shamed for it like women are. It’s bc men just aren’t shamed for their aesthetics in the same way.

But I think they still pick up on it, and prefer light skinned women as a means to cancel out their own dark skin.

I sometimes wonder if these people have jobs.

Yes colorism is real in our community.
Otherwise xalimos wouldn’t be bleaching their skin and injecting whitening chemicals.

It's not as extreme as with Indians.
