I’m on this Twitter page called Arab world and it showcases beautiful pictures and it posted a picture from Somalia and so many people responded saying we aren’t Arab. Mind you this page also posts Pakistan and chad as well before. Question I have to ask is what’s wrong with being seen as Arab? We have more cultural similarities with them and even our language is mostly Arab loan words. We are very similar and a lot of Somalis are living in Arab countries. You lot also don’t like being seen as black, so why not accept the Arab label?
Why are Somalis so adamant on not being seen as Arabs?

having some arabic influences in our culture doesnt make us arab, we dont even speak arabic. We're somali and only somali. Identifying as arab will only make you look like an ashamed inferior larper that lacks dignity
WE ARE SOMALI
i cant think of anything more bottom tier than adopting and taking pride in an identity cultivated entirely by non-somalis holy shit yall's self esteem must be lower than Marianas trench

Tf you talking about, Somalis are closer to arabs than ethiopians.
Check the genetics, Eithopians are more gentically closer to Arabs.

Destiny are you ana-arab now, why did you switch sides.Oh lord. I'm sick of all this genetics talk. You niggas are weird.
Over 70% of the Somali language consists of words and phrases that you won’t hear in any other language let alone Arabic, you won’t even hear anything remotely similar to those words.

I'm not ana arab but I support them over the pro-Cushites. Them niggas are mad annoying, screaming about how they're "cUsHiTiC" and not arab. These weirdos are everywhere too.

Simple. Nobody wants to be associated with terrorists
To be honest, I agree. I don't like Somalis that go around claiming to be Arab, but Somalis tend to love isolating themselves from everyone else, whether it's other Africans, or Arabs. Stop trying to make enemies people. If someone is complimenting you, no point starting an argument over dumb shit.

There are more Ethiopians who speak Arabic than Somalis and the majority Eritreans speak Arabic yet they don’t go around calling themselves Arabs. The chance of Arabs finding one who speaks it is way high compared to Somalis.
So, why can’t loudmouth malis on social media learn from Ethiopians, keep it to themselves and lay low instead of embarassing themselves?
