You seem to forget that country was in civil war for the past 25 years and there were not any universities during that time.

And before the war? Stop pretending as if Somalia was some developed country before the war. Siad Barre killed all the money on the military leaving very little for the people. Somalia was an always poor place with very little to offer. These men are the exceptional few.

The overwhelming majority of people aren't capable of becoming scientists, it's not just limited to Somalis.

:axvmm9o:

I never made that claim. These men are not just scientists but educated men and Somalis have always lacked in that. The mentality of Somalis is broken.

Notice how @The_Cosmos and @NoName speak of Somalis as some mono-dimensional group of people. The Cadaan man can be everything and in-between while a Somali on the other hand is just static mono-dimensional and acting like we are all just that and those whom are not are simply mere exceptions. According to them.

Which isn't true, we are not all the same, Somalis are of different social-economic backgrounds and careers. “Some are employed, some are unemployed, they are highly educated or illiterate, some have been in the west for two years, others for 20, some are poor, others highly paid.”

We are a multi-dimensional people. There are tons of Somali PhDs in sciences and perhaps more than quadruple digits. We should be encouraging more people to venture into these fields and view them as examples to follow.

Not as an opportunity to demoralize Somalis.

Somalis are on the lowest of the pile when it comes to annual income in America. Somalis have the highest rate of unemployment amongst immigrant communities in Britain. Somalis are one of the highest recipients of welfare in both Britain and America proportionally. Similar trends can be found elsewhere.

I'm not demonising Somalis mate, I'm just spitting out the facts.

You're becoming a joke with these outlandish views of yours.

Some more attempt to demoralize Somalis by spewing statistical facts with no contexts and no discrepancies between age,gender,sex, generation etc.

Facts alone do not construct Truth. Saying its facts doesn't make it True. Truth is balanced and in any direction it comes from it is never negative.

Somalis are not static, our collective Social-economic circumstance will change across generations in the west and you can't just use old American 90s statics incorrectly based off first generation war-torn refugees to propagate for a negative stereotype of us.

Furthermore this isn't true for Somalis as a whole “Some are employed, some are unemployed, they are highly educated or illiterate, some have been in the west for two years, others for 20, some are poor, others highly paid.”

We are multi-dimensional people.

I'm looking at it from a general viewpoint and trying to map out the average percentage of people. You're practically suggesting I look at everyone independently. That's not how it works.
