It's how they portray us. The stereotypes and they refuse to use REAL Somali actors. Instead using those west Africans who will be a their feet ready at any notice. Does your abo look like the guy in the show?

That's patently false. They exist. If you want cultural authenticity you can get it. Americans don't care and aren't known for being very high IQ either. Don't expect appropriate casting from them.

They do it with MENAs too. They like to exaggerate how "other" we all are. For example, they will constantly use Desis to play MENAs even in serious tv shows. Probably to make them look more brown/ethnic than they actually are. This was an Iraqi from Tikrit in Lost:

Either that or they'll find a member of the ethnic group or region who looks particularly more ethnic.
