OK.... Cool guys, we're on the same page! That's what I thought too.

WHAT IF.... I take the African American part out and put a Jewish woman in the mix?(might happen) A kid's a Jew if the mom's a Jew. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: One crazy family!
Um, no sis. A kid is only a Jew if the father is a Jew. Take rapper Drake for example. He is not consider a Jew but Jewish people because his father is Black and was not born a Jew.
Traditional Judaism is marked by matrilineal descent, though.

No, I don't care what people say. The second he/she marred a non Somali and had half Somali kids they become non Somali kids. His/her kids with the Asian woman are biracial and the Asian/Somali man kids with the African American women are also biracial.

You're only Somali if you look Somali- simple.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT? Sis, come on. I don't look Somali at all. So, does that mean I'm not Somali? :cry: The one person on here who saw my picture can co sign on that for me.

i thought judaism was more than a birth right. If the son doesnt follow judaism or its tenants what is the purpose of having a jewish mother.

Blitz, this is what I was taught in my Uni (World Religion class).

You're only Somali if you look Somali- simple.
So if you're biracial, you're stripped of an ethnic identity? Also, what if you're biracial and look Somali? My friend who's Somali/white essentially looks full Somali; however, her sister looks like an Arab. Under the assumption that "you're only Somali if you look Somali", since my friend looks Somali, would you consider her to be Somali while labeling her sister as biracial?

What if you're Somali and don't "look" Somali?

Actually, more importantly, what is "looking" Somali? What is this mythic homogeneous aesthetic?

Everyday I meet people who say "I'm part black,Turkish, Spanish, & German" ... I'm thinking WTF? I actually have a friend who has more in her. :shock:

So if those mixed kids are willing to give credit to their roots by saying "I'm this, this, & that".... What made Somalis think they're superior for the mixed grandson to say "I'm Somali"? when he can simply say "my from my dad's grandfather was Somali, grandma Indian, my mom's African American" :?

What I meant is if you both your parents are Somali and you look Somali. Jeez I didn't think the first part even needed to be mentioned.

Do you want me to show you a picture of me as proof? I do not look Somali at all. And, I am reminded of that by Somali people I meet on a daily basis. :|
