Big issue with Somali identity

[hydrogen]

Anyone can be Somali:

[Bantu] don't let anyone bring u down in life.
u r somali.
Don't ever let anyone discriminate you.
You are human.
You are muslim.

Don't let people bring you down.

However, Somalis can never be anyone else:

Holland way so qaadatey, meshas meel la iska dhiiba maaha.Hadaadan afka wadanka baran xita citizen noqon maysid no matter how long you liv there..

According to your inferiority complex logic, Somali doesn't really exist. Sort it out.

P.S Waryaahoy and salool, nothing against you personally - I'm just using your posts as an example of what Somalis have come to accept.

Somalis in Europe can never say they are Swedish, Norwegian, British, Dutch, etc.

Those are nation-states. You can be citizens of those nations but you can't claim those identities.

Just like Bantu Somalis can only claim Somalia as their nationality and not as their ethnicity.

Somalis in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand can claim to be American, Canadian, Aussie or a Kiwi. These are not nation-states.
