What's your theory? Why do our people bootyclapp when we have made iconic terms for them like degacaas?
Arabs were the first lightskin people they've met. The Somalis love light skin people. They also love their colonizers. Also, the Arab Sufi Sheikhs who came to us were very soft spoken and rubbing our heads when they wanted us to convert. Somalis like the soft spoken akhi talk.
They also brought us the clan system and the Somalis love this. Notice how the Somali clans all have Arab daddies from the 7th or 8th century.
