Somali girl's rant about Interracial marriages

rant:
i wonder why somali people get so freaked out about interracial marriage/dating. i dont wanna overgeneralize but somali women who marry outside of the group are usually dogged out—especially by the men. every one hangs their head and mourns the loss of yet another innocent sentry of our beloved culture.
personally, i think somali men want the women to keep marrying them so they can get away with shit. the power dynamic of the traditional somali home definitely benefits the men. the father is in charge, no questions asked. and the mom takes care of all the domestic stuff, the girl helps. the guy rots his brain w/ video games/basketball/girls. the girl is pressured to go to college, get married, be responsible, stay chaste. the guy is told to stay out of trouble. got to school, get your feet off the couch, and please, don’t impregnate anyone. he’s not challenged at all. in the end, he’ll want a family just like his dad had. unchallenging, conventional, and comfortable—with a sweet somali girl that’ll stay by his side through all his crap.
bump that. i want a little chaos in my life. bring on the side eye.
