Nice icebreaker though! - that is by far the most selfish thing i have ever heard. its quite clear you have power dynamic issues, because while you gratify yourself with having the upper hand (being somali and all; though i suspect your nothing more than an CIA operative), do you stop to think on what goes on in the mind of that child-inbred who has to live the rest of its life as half of something and a bit of the other. the person should be complete.

most half somalis have somali mothers.
