aren't UK Somali quick to act when they are insulted or made fun of? Go on, show us what you gonna do about this.
 
This is the guy who does their marketing and his website.


It was quite depreciative and backhanded, he's obviously just chasing what goes viral. I don't really have a google account but I'd give the restaurant itself a 1 star review. I don't understand why they're insulting the ethnic group who's food their selling/profiting off tbh.
 
Why the hell would you target white women to come visit ur somali restaurant anyways :what:

must be one of those #AbdiExit guys behind this :hmm:
 
The guy who makes these videos is BENGALI.

I've got to confess, recently UK Somalis seem to have been taking some heat. One major reason might be because a lot of them are on platforms like YouTube, making people laugh and even poking fun at themselves. Those meme-filled days didn't help either. Plus, that movie "Captain Phillips" didn't exactly paint us in the best light. Hollywood, which is predominantly owned by Jewish individuals, definitely played a role in setting up that image.

It seems we've made too many adversaries. Perhaps we should have taken a page from the Habesha's book and kept more to ourselves. Platforms like TikTok offered a fresh start, but trolls spoiled that. Now we're being perceived as racist, and the excessive use of the J-word has unfortunately turned fellow Africans against us. Habeshas might have even worse superiority complexes and harsher words than the J-word, but they don't display it publicly. The terms 'Madow' and 'Jileec' are not inherently racist; it's the lack of understanding of their context that's the issue. The J-word even denotes an actual clan.

One thing I appreciate about America and the Somali community there is the sense of personal space. Everyone keeps to themselves, with significant geographical distances between communities. They have entire states to themselves, and African Americans or other communities don't pry into each other's affairs. I don't even believe African Americans are overly familiar with Somali culture, language, or terminology.

Somalis in the UK might benefit from focusing less on entertainment and more on business, taking inspiration from what the Somali community has accomplished in Minnesota. It would be beneficial if they could establish a strong community presence in a particular borough or part of London, much like how the Indian community has done in Southall. Creating a Somali-centric area filled with Somali-owned businesses, and schools predominantly attended by Somali students, would essentially be crafting our own version of Chinatown, or rather, a "Somalitown."
