This happened when I was banned but I just remembered it now so I will tell the story.
A white coworker came up to me a few weeks ago and we got to talking. We start to become comfortable and he talks about his Irish/Estonian heritage. He asks what I am and I tell him my parents are Somalis. He immediately brings up Black Hawk Down to tease me. I tell him that was over two decades ago and that Somalia is perfectly safe. "I've been there a few times".
He asks what part of Somalia I am from and I tell him.
He then talks about the clan system. To make my people appear less savage, I stress that these clans are nothing more than extended families and that the clan system has no place in politics.
He then flat out asks what clan I belong too. The thing is I can tell he knew nothing about Somali clans. I was very suspicious. At most, it appeared he may have just skimmed through the Somalia wiki page.
I knew he was sent by someone. As soon as he asked what my clan was, I see a Somali FOB who is on contract with another conpany peek from the corner(he was hiding the whole time but became more visible). I don't even work with or know the dude.
The white guy was sent by the stranger FOB to find out my lineage. I turn to the white guy but his phone rings and that was the end of it
I am,
