I do find the obsession with different races particularly cadaan women displayed by madow nimaan looks like a humiliation ritual tbh. I don’t see any group of nimaan so consumed by interracial dating/ marriage and it really underpins a major source of low self esteem and obsessed with what cadaan nimaan have. Someone I tweet I saw sums it up very well to paraphrase they said for the last 50 yrs, many nimaan madow haven’t been consumed by uplifting their people and equality and making the lives of madow naago and nimaan better but are more concerned about sitting on the same table and trying to emulate and have everything cadaan men have, hence their obsession with cadaan.
The thing is, if a Somali man wanted an Cadaan, he can easily marry one. So could Somali women, but the majority of us value our culture, traditions and see our phenotype as beautiful. A low self esteem niin or naag won’t be able to understand that and it’s sad you see a lot of that in the madow community.
