Well, lets see. English is a Cadaan invention and they will use it however as they see it fit. They set up this game and the world is playing by their rules.

However, nothing remains the same- Im positive Somali will have a chance by 3030- :stylin:

chance I said

East Europeans don't have that luxury. They are considered immigrants in West Europe. But on the whole it's cos immigrant has negative connotations.

A Brit in Australia = expat
A Chinese in Australia = immigrant.

Even though I've seen Canadians and Australians living in UK for over a decade and they still call themselves ex pats.

White privilege is real.

History is written by the victors and they get to create the "norm" of society for everyone else to follow.

The underlying question still is this:

Does said person plan on permanently residing in the country? If so they are an immigrant.

Is said person only temporarily working in said country on a temporary contract, with plans to eventually return to their country? If so they are an expatriate.

White privilege is as real as it gets, it's ingrained in their subconscious. Most of the time their hypocrisy is completely unintentional.

Indhayar are the worst. They suck up to cadaan so much that apparenyly some places will only hire you if you are whites. But let's not act like we are any better. How many cadaan nobodies and low-ranking officials get presidential welcomes everytime they visit Hargeisa or Mogadishu? Remember that random norwegian woman who sang in somali?
We are different. How dare you LH. I've never met a boot licker that was Somali in real life. It would be vomit inducing. :snoop:

@Advo thats why you set them straight and let them know that they aint shit. Bring em back to reality. and next time they call you a terrorist take out a list of the barbaric atrocities their forefathers committed. Nobody is more barbaric and evil then europeans. they bring destruction where ever they go. even to this very day.

Nope. Politicians do not represent the masses. And these people aren't being dotted on in an ingratiating way like other ajnabis do. We don't kowtow. If that's what you're into fine. :Shrug:

Daahir riyaale was the only politician in that pic. And I didn't include Konfurians because they are even more subservient and obsequious.

Sophisticate, you have an image of Somalis that no longer exists. The proud Somali is dead, all that's left is a race of bitches. If you think an cadaan person doesn't get preferential treatment back home, then you're delusional. I'm sorry, I know it hurts.

Cadaans get preferential treatment wherever they go, whether it Latin America, Asia or Africa.

This is why I laugh when cadaans cry about "reverse racism" or white privilege.
