Jacpher Posted March 20, 2013 Someone asked, do you speak Somalian today? I said no, I don't speak Somalian. I speak African. A friend told me awhile ago, someone asked her, are you Islamic? She said, no. I am Arabic religion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maarodi Posted March 20, 2013 I personally was asked if I was "Islamic" also and whether I spoke "Arabian". But I absolutely HATE people, especially Somalis who use the term "SOMALIAN" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baashi Posted March 20, 2013 I would not use hate but yes I disdain that word. If you see that word used in major anglophone media portals write to the editor and politely tell them the word is anomaly. Give them references to help them validate your correction.

Haatu Posted March 20, 2013 Jacpher, you've missed the gist by a wide margin. Reread. XX, I'm apathetic to both if truth be told. The difference is that I follow the news of one whereas I don't for the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
