Power either it be social or physical supersedes morality.(Harsh truth)
A bully doesn’t target who he cannot win against he always punches down.
Somalis don’t have enough social sway for it to be taboo to insult Somali features.
Back in the day when a lot of Somali migrant families were coming to the uk somalis were targeted by Caribbean gangs. Somalis who were not emasculated at the time stood up for themselves and started fighting back.
Until somalis gained a reputation. The reputation superseded the younger generations so they didn’t need to fight for respect that their elders sacrificed for them.
Now its not popular to target somalis physically anymore but its very popular to insult us instead. Which is far more preferable as words cant kill you.
To fix this we need to gain social capital either through positive representation or social power either through hate crime law, managerial influence on popular sites or make it a social stigma through awareness.
