These somali girls claim skin bleaching is a problem in somali communities.

The one on the right (Iman?) is really beautiful and has a beautiful face. They certainly don't need to bleach their skin. Both girls are Quruxleeyiin.

And as for Somalis being black, that's still up for a debate.

[Prlnce]

I love how individual experience is indictment on the culture. Just because your self-loathing family and friends bleach doesn't mean it's an "epidemic" GTFOH.

You guys are in serious denial if you claim its not a widespread problem, ESPECIALLY in Somalia itself and with more recent arriving Somalis. When's the last time you went back? How many local girls did you see with the telltale signs of bleaching? If you say none you are lying.

Id actually say second generation and younger ones are much less likely to use this skin bleach.

[SahanGalbeed]

I can't really listen to what they're saying right now but they're beautiful

Sxb are you trying to say that these nomads are diana users

They said it was epidemic in the Somali community by citing anecdotal story. And there is a problem in taking one person's anecdotal story and attempting to generalize the whole culture. You see it everyday on forums, Youtube or on Social Media.

"There is an EPIDEMIC of violence against women in the Somali community"

"There is EPIDEMIC of single mothers in the Somali community"

"There is EPIDEMIC of Somali youths joining ISIS"

"There is EPIDEMIC of polygamous marriages in the Somali community"

All that just means is their father beat their mother. And they assume all Somali men beat their wife and it's wide spread problem. Their sister or friend didn't properly vet their spouse and they divorced. Now being a single mother is an epidemic. You can miss me with that bullshit. It reminds me of North Korean dissident that was born and spent his first 23 years of life in a prison camp. So he assumed everything outside the prison gates was the same as the prison camp. Because that's all he knew. Same with these trifling Xalimos just because their inner circle and immediate family and friends bleach doesn't mean it's a widespread problem. I see why they would think that. Just like the prisoner that's all they see that's all they know.

To answer your question did I see people that bleach their skin in Somalia? Yes I did 1, or 2 or 3 people out of tens of thousands. I hardly call that an epidemic.

Id actually say second generation and younger ones are much less likely to use this skin bleach.

Yeah! I'm going to have to call Bullshit on that too. Second generation are just as vain and conceited.

1 or 2 people? What part of Somalia did you visit? Youtube any Somali wedding in Somalia right now and count how many Diana users you can spot. No need to be defensive about the obvious.

Younger generation is vain but skin bleaching isnt because it isnt popular in the West. You cant buy Diana from shopping malls in London/Toronto etc.

I actually do agree about your point that people too often generalize social problems. Just dont think this is one of them, if we are talking about Somalis back home or outside the West.

I visited the part of Somalia that didn't have an Epidemic

Don't need to watch YouTube videos I been to enough Somali weddings in Somalia . Already know what I'm going to see.

1.Shit load dark skin people,

2. few naturally Light skin people.

3. People that are wearing 5 pounds of make up. Wearing foundation that doesn't match their skin tone.

4. 1,2 or 3 people that bleached their skin out hundreds at the wedding. Again not quite an epidemic.

You are saying its Epidemic with Somalis back Home. But not with the ones in West. Its an Epidemic with Older generation but not with Younger generation. I don't know what video you watched but these misinformed girls clearly stated it's an epidemic within the Somali community period. They don't make a distinction between Somalia vs. The West. Old vs Young. So kill that noise. It's just another issue Somalis are inclined to exaggerate or embellish.

We are living in two different realities...you can't find Diana in London or Toronto? You just disqualified yourself. You lose credibility when you say things like that sxb.

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

I'm sorry but skin-bleaching is a huge issue back home. It's not so prevalent among diaspora Somalis, but a lot of xaliimos back home are looking like ghoulish creatures. I blame all these guys looking for lightskin chicks. Beauty is about features not skin-colour.

Selective quoting you should work for Fox. I said you cant get Diana from shopping malls in London or Toronto. The younger generation buys their makeup from Eaton Centre, Yorkdale, Westfield etc. Which Sephora or MAC store carry Diana? Unless you think young 20-somethings are buying their makeup products from Somali stores? Either you're completely out of touch or intentionally refusing to see the problem.

I already said I agree that Somalis often generalize problems and pointed out the distinctions for this issue in particular. You're just doing the opposite of what the YT video claims, by arguing the problem barely exists in the first place.

Agree. I dont know how anyone whos been back can argue its not prevalent. Also common with the diasporas closer to Somalia.

Simple sxb these stores have a reputation to maintain.

I will give you two reasons ....M-A-C doesn't carry it because like most bleaching products it's banned and it's illegal to sell.
They contain high levels of mercury. And the other reason is M-A-C sells only M-A-C products and last I checked Diana is not M-A-C Product. There you go.

Young people use marijuana they use ecstasy. Now those products are not found in the mall. I wonder where would they get illegal products from?

I'm not making the opposite arguments of those alarmist on youtube video. The opposite argument would be Somalis don't use skin bleaching products period!

My argument is simple and rational. Somalis do bleach their skin just like every other community. And within the Somali community tiny fraction bleach their skin. That is not an epidemic the sky is not falling the kids are going to alright.

I agree with Prince. Sick and tired of hearing hyperbolic xaliimos and faaraxs with internet access extrapolating from their damned experiences and judging the rest of us. Same with divorce rates . Bleaching is a phenomenon confined within specific age groups with specific experiences or mindsets. It is by no means widespread or an epidemic.
