I can't view the did so can't comment on that
What I will comment though is what does the
phrase "of Somali origin mean'.In my world view you're either Somali or you're not.
Don't mean to derail your thread yaa Macalin
I just had to get that off my jest

TG, the guy in the second clip is from Belgium and he's (or his parents are) originally from Somalia, hence why I used the term 'Somali origin'. It's one of those 'lost identity' like cases. If someone's parents are from a certain country and they had children in another foreign country, when those kids grow up in their parents' adopted country and all they know is the language, cultures and all things about that country, they're kinda lost and confused. On one hand, the identity and origins of your parents won't go away and one way or another you're still identified by it. And on the other, you have nothing else that connects you to parents old country apart from that your parents are originally from there & your race/ethnicity. The question is, which one is more important, nationality or ethnicity?
Lancer, are you a Somali-Arab? Sorry if you're offended, I didn't mean to.

There's a fear that there will be an uprising against immigrants in the West so when the shit hits the fan I will seek refuge in your kingdom and I hope you'll be kind enough to give me refuge, you banu Hashimite prince.

^ Check the rest of the videos on that channel, they disabled (well, more like enabled the 'Publish comments after approval' feature in the settings and never publish them. It looks less rude than the 'Disabled' feature) commenting for all their videos (probably Arabs have recently discovered trolling and they trolled the shit out of the videos or something).

No problem the immigration officers will let u in as soon as they verify if you are one of us by reciting your lineage. Banu Hashimites look out for each other.

Edit: It's more like the latest videos that don't have comments so it's likely something recent, I think.

Nah, mate. I aint no A-rab! I am African, Black Somali. You either accommodate me with all my package (plus, host me with some of those fine Hashimite harems, since that's how real A-rabs host their guests) or you don't.

I did not like the girl's outfit but she was OK.
But the boy was a fking embarrassment, he looked like one of those street kids who try to dance "rap" by making random moves while playing music. I failed to see anything special about his hand movements, I would recommend him to learn from this.
Don't believe this fake "Arab jury" they are just playing nice with him bc they rarely see Somali people in their show let alone their whole lives. If the comments were not disabled, you would see the racist Arabs insulting Somali people.
