stewpot54 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I got myself in trouble on here because I said Somalians were a race. I was wrongly accused of trying to instigate a 'racist' thread.When in fact the replies to the o/p had surprised me because poeple were telling the truth about the Somalians in Exeter Drive and no one had started kicking off about racist slurs. Anyhow to cut a long story short I posted a load of twaddle because I was fed up of false accusations. The thing I wuold like to know is when I mentioned racism against the Somalians I was pompously told they are a nation not a race so racism was not the right term. HELP!!!!!

GothicCharm Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 actually i thought they were a race too, but why does it matter if they are a nation or a race its still possible for people to be racist toward them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonofAna Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I always thought they were a race. Having looked up the meanings of nation and race I think there's a fine line, and people are just being pedantic to score points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 So if Somali is not a race... what race do people from the 'nation of Somalia' class themselves as? Just African? ... it's madness I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
