That’s one of the worst takes I’ve seen on here. Whether you like it or not, as a Somali, the PR of your people will affect perception of you.

Look at Sikhs in the UK, their PR there is golden. There’s like 5x of them in comparison to Somalis - yet they have nowhere the same hyper visibility or the negative PR.

Here you have a Somali brother who’s done extremely well for himself, advice the guy in private. Instead we have a crabs in a bucket mentality, and have made him the face of working for immoral companies when his bosses are probably Arabs.

I never disagreed with any of this, I don’t know why people on here love misrepresenting other peoples arguments.

Nobody cares about fb when most young activist types are on twitter. Find me one recent tweet dragging an arab or muslim asian working for one of these companies. Arabs & asians post generic tweets like “how can you be muslim & work here”. I don’t see them posting people’s linkedin accounts because they’re smart enough to understand that attacking people from their own ethnic group is stupid which is why they just rt attention starved losers like Libaan to divert attention away from their own. Btw the guy in question was literally helping younger Somalis at tech events. He’s not a bum making jokes on twitter, he was helping dadkiisa & in return he gets Somalis trying to embarrass him

The honesty is killing me lol,

Race and ethnicity are not at the forefront of everything, I just think it is for you and a bunch of other people who I also think you hyper focus on while ignoring people who don’t view everything through race and then use those people to justifying also viewing everything through a racial lense. There is nothing wrong with noticing that certain groups are hold to a higher moral standard, that’s true, but to mention it on a post about a random guy working a morally questionable job, is very weird, especially since I’m sure the guy who posted it doesn’t hold somalis to a higher moral standard, neither do most people, and the people who were saying racist remarks weren’t saying it because they hold somalis to a higher standard but rather they already have their own opinion on us and just used that guy as a shield to justify it.

We manage to become the face of stuff like this because of Somalis themselves, That guy who posted that was out of pocket for doing so, it is his fault. I think that last sentence applies to every single ethnic group, certain people always focus on negatives and ignore positives, I think alot of the things you guys complain about on here happen with other ethnic groups. You just interact with Somalis and are mostly in Somali spaces so you don’t see it, neither do they, and they say the exact same thing, for the same reason.

it’s not, it’s Somali themselves who like to scream about these things.

I’ve had that “same grace” extended to me multiple times, there’s plentry of Ajanbis who give Somalis grace and are more rational, there’s plenty of nice non-Somalis out there, once again using other people’s bad behaviour to justify your own

You said “Arabs and Asians are smart enough to protect their own” i Said I’m not gonna protect someone just because their Somali, I don’t know what this whole paragraph is supposed to counter.

No one aside from a stupid person thinks we’re all responsible for the actions of other somalis, your wording to me is very weird, you make it sound as if most people think like that, when they don’t, social media exaggerates these kind of things, especially on twitter (where it was originally posted).

No one said don’t push back against it, and no one said it wasn’t weird to post the guys info,

People do the same about a bunch of other countries to, but yeah I agree it’s wrong, but I think being overfamiliar with us is a lot more harmless than you guys make it seem.

Agreed , I’m replying as I’m reading so sorry because I mentioned this above, lol.

Race and ethnicity are indeed at the forefront of everything. That is literally the reality of everything and how it is perceived. I wanna move to the place you're living in where this isn't the case.
