I honestly don't mind marrying a ajinabi person as long as their Muslim. Idk why Somalis are so xenophobic and not open to marrying other (muslim) people. Theres no harm in it and you get to learn new cultures.
its not really xenophobia, its just a cultural tradition, just like interrmarriage is a cultural traditions of the west but are we going to assume they hate themselves thus they marry out?. You can befriend someone and learn their culture doesnt have to imply marrying out.
Couple of major things i think is wrong with marrying outside your culture.
(1)Cultural differences and clashes.conflicts
(2)Kid that doesnt resemble you in the least
(3) Wast Majority of interaccial relationship end up in divorce and domestic violence.
(4)Mixed race kids have the highest rates of mental illness and severe conflicting identity problems.
(5)Zero continuation legacy/ancestry (especially if you are a girl)
(6) Stuck marrying Left over trash from someone elses race/ethncitiy
when you add all the pros and cons, many will wonder why bother its more troublesome ill just stick to my own. Its natural.
Most have a romanticized view of interrmariage not on par with reality
