Why are white people expats when the rest of us are immigrants?

[SayyidUmar]

The same reason when a white commits a crime or act of terror it's always described as an "isolated incident" but if brown person does it it is indicative of their race/ethnicity/religion and "a real and growing problem".

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.

Yeah sure, Somalis don't suck up to cadaans at all.

that cadaan girl from norway was married to a somali singer named himilo also from norway who hails from burco, he is the guy in the middle in 3rd pic with hawaii looking shirt & hat. they were on honeymoon & he bought her for some cultural deindoctrination. they are divorced now, if ur interested she only dates somali guys & makes laxoox iyo suqaar better then any cornflakes eating western xalimo.kkkk

An expat is the opposite of an immigrant. Somalis in the west are expats from the point of view of Somalia.

[James Dahl]

I don't know why people like to use the term for professionals, I guess supposedly they're not there to immigrate but just to work? It's a misuse of the term though.

[Cherine]

Somalis in the Arab countries are considered expatriates just like the Indians, Westerners, other Arab nationalities etc. I think expatriate is the way to go [Europe barring Switzerland missed a trick here] maybe then the locals in europe wouldn't feel like we're going to take over their countries. The crime rate would also greatly reduce, as you wouldn't want to scupper your chances of getting residency. [Only saying this because i read in countries like Sweden most rapes and violent crime are committed by immigrants].

Might is right. The powerful set the agenda, make the labels and drive the narrative. Don't complain, but compete. If not motivated enough to compete or not talented enough, then step aside.

That's exactly what I've been saying for years bro

There's no need to get bitter. Get better

[TheMailMan]

I was using that to illustrate that the 'Proud Somali' is dying out or already extinct. 30 yrs of civil war, humiliation in foreign lands and qaxootinimo can do that to you.

May Allah curse the memory of Aideed, Hersi Morgan, Ali Mahdi, and all the mooryanimo.

^ How can you possibly compete, when we get our education and experiences (as necessary) and then stay abroad instead of coming home?

It's the same thing, and everyone wants to complain instead of actually changing their circumstance to better the circumstance of us as a people.

[Cherine]

^So true. But has it occured to you that some of these people have experiences and qualifications in fields of little consequence? Basically degrees in fuck all.

[EvolSyawla]

It has occurred to me, and that's too bad. Usually, it means Somalia wasn't on the yellow brick road when they were choosing degrees. A lot of people I know go to uni just to have a degree, because they "should". And they choose fields that are incompatible with a young nation and economy - even incompatible in Canada. lol For example, Bachelor in Psychology. Unless you go further than that, it's really useless no matter where you go.

Then people become nurses, and they want to work here, and are unsatisfied with the level of pay associated with it. Who said one would become rich saving lives? No they'd rather stay abroad and buy their Gucci watches to show off at weddings on the weekend.

It is more complicated than simply flying over, I agree, but at the end of the day, decisions need to be made. We seem to not get that.

[Cherine]

Exactly. That explains their paralysis and indifference towards Somalia because they realise they could not affect it in anyway as things currently stand but it is never to late. We stand in more need of plumbers, electricians & builders than psychologists.

Bachelor degrees are the new high school diploma. It does not matter what you study, just that you have one from a decent school. People get them just to even be considered for white collar jobs these days.

[EvolSyawla]

^ Exactly. I completely agree. I say jobs in the west are only important for experience in the field - unless you have someone here who can train you - and for capital - unless you have the capital saved/business opened by someone else.

I prefer more people with Masters and PHDs to be here, but bachelor education isn't pointless either. Depending on what field you're into of course. Realistically, that paper doesn't gauge how successful you are in the field, nor your expertise and desire to excel.


Cherine, you're right. Somalia needs to be built from bottom up. Our service sector isn't bad, but everything else is imported, and we will keep doing that unless things change.

Walaal you can believe me or not believe me.

Receptionist 'was hit and called black slave and dog by Qatari Embassy official'

Yet another case of a Somali victim bullied in the U.K. This time a Qatari foreign diplomat.

White privilege is far more prevalent in non-white countries, young white boys go to Japan to become players and fuck multiple Japs while treating them like shit because they use and abuse their white privilege in that country, it backfired to some extent in Japan but there are many other Asians to fuck up before they all start to wake up to the cancer called white privilege plaguing their societies. Obviously without white privilege it would be awkward for white men over 40 speaking to young Thailand girls in their pre-teens.
