bbc went to somali ghetto in sweden, shocked

[MVPSOM]

When I was younger I used to wonder why the CCP banned many American cultural exports and built there own internet firewall

Now I know why this girl is acting like she grew up in Compton instead of Sweden which has the highest standard of living in the world

They're smart. Cause they know the American madow culture as well as cadaan trash culture are harmful to their society.

Honestly ajnabis arent lying, there are a lot of young somalis especially in the west nowadays that are low iq….

Somali parents in the west have good hearts but they are lazy in their parenting sometimes. Ngl i say that from experience, children with behavioral issues stem from neglectful parents. When the dad is dead weight and the mom spends her free time on the phone, who cares for the children?

I worry about the next kids coming up… May god help us

Poverty is such a cop out answer. Growing up my family and I lived in the worst neighborhood in San Diego that was riddled with poverty, gangs, drugs, and violence. We were on every type of government assistance you could think of. You know what we did? We pulled ourselves out of that poverty and now we own a beautiful house in the suburbs and me and my younger sister go to one of the best universities in the country on full rides.

What also helped is that my parents were extremely strict with who I could hang out with and was clear I could not play in the apartment without them being able to see me so I couldn’t come across bad influences

Hablo espanayol esse?

No, they fucking don’t. Liberals? Sure. Right-wingers? Lmao.




I noticed that Somalis raised in the west tend to be more independent and individualistic. Which I honestly like.
but I believe a few cultural traditions like mass shaming and social ostracization should be kept. Cuz it’s effective against women and young men under 23-25.

It's not effective at ALL. Shaming culture is still alive but all it does is isolate somali young people from their community.

I think saying “poverty” alone is an oversimplification. From what I can tell, the deeper issue is a lack of opportunities caused by social exclusion and the kind of alienation many immigrant youth feel from wider Swedish society. They experience profound social marginalization.

New research finds migrants in Sweden feel 'profound sense of loneliness'

Many immigrants coming to Sweden struggle to make meaningful social ties, a new study from Malmö University has found, with interviews and focus groups "painting a grim picture" of their experiences.

www.thelocal.se

One of the biggest problems is how immigrants are settled into segregated, low-income areas , basically creating ghettos. Compare that to Norway, where immigrants are distributed more evenly into regular housing among native populations. It makes a big difference in long-term outcomes.

I’ve seen a few Reddit threads where Norwegians pointed out this very contrast.

Norway doesn't really have Swedish gang culture or struggles with rampant gang crime, high rates of crime or gun crime, knifing etc similarly with Denmark although they fear the Swedish exportation of it.

The only real organized gangs you will see in Norway is mostly norwegian Biker gangs that move cross nationally that have existed for decades.

From papers i have read online and on reddit, Norway has had a seperate immigration policy than Sweden and a different housing market than them. Sweden lump assylum seekers/low income immigrants into the same areas that eventually form into ghettos, whereas norway seperate asysylum/refugees that arrive into different muncipalities and cities and they are assigned to and have no say on choosing where to live.

The housing markets are also different . Sweden has housing for the poor but Norway doesn't. So there is no real segregated concentration of poor ethnic people living in the same areas which is what creates the hotbed of gang and crime activity.

More is explained under this reddit thread:

And honestly, the U.S. , despite its own flaws , does this part better. The labor market is more flexible, and immigrants can find work more easily. There are fewer barriers to starting businesses, schools, or community orgs tailored to their needs, which helps foster self-reliance and mobility.


Also, the broader American cultural climate is more open to immigration , especially in urban areas , so it’s easier to integrate socially and economically.

Rinkeby is not even the worst place in Stockholm, the gang war stopped in 2020. Somalis are being presented as the face of the gang crime in Sweden, which is far from the truth. Carabta, kurds, assyrians and balkans run the biggest gangs and ship the drugs into Sweden.

Sweden called in the national army due to the beef caused by Kurdish fox and his enemies.

This girl stupidly agreed to be filmed, all for nothing.

You won’t see Somalis running drug cartels, organized networks, or setting up turf wars , that’s just not how they operate because there is no communal support for that type of stuff. Most of the stuff Somali youth get caught up in tends to be petty crime, which all types of youth engage in across the board.

What really gets me is how Somalis don’t seem to understand the value of privacy. There’s this strange hunger for visibility , to be seen, to be heard , even when it adds no value and ends up backfiring.

And the annoying part is that it’s always the most wayward or unserious individuals who put themselves in front. That girl doesn’t represent Somali girls in Sweden at all , she doesn’t act, dress, or carry herself like the average Somali girl there who’s focused, modest, wears her hijab, has a close-knit group of friends, and lives a lowkey life.

It’s extremely rare to find a Somali girl actually involved in gangs anywhere in the diaspora, which is why this one just comes off like a poser , someone trying to seem edgy or cool without even understanding what she’s projecting.

I genuinely think there’s something deeper going on with people like this , whether it’s an identity crisis, low self-esteem, or just chasing validation in all the wrong ways. But sadly, it’s always these types who end up pushed to the front and then used to paint a whole community.

Hopefully most Somalis in Europe migrate back to Somalia or head to America instead. Even though Somalis don't cause much trouble we simply stick out way too much since we proudly display our Somalinmo rather than hiding it like other migrant groups lmao. America is way better than Europe imo since its a huge nation with a large population so not only does it have more opportunities, Somalis can carve out their own space without being judged for it.

I don’t know if it’s the lack of sunlight over there or high levels of fluoride in the water, but how can you have it so good but still throw it away. And I have previously said this before on here it comes down to parenting, I am not saying that these parents set them up for a life of crime. But if you father is absent (either physically or emotionally) and your mother is just too busy to parent you. You end up being neglected and easily influenced by the wrong people. I sometimes genuinely don’t fault right wingers for disliking immigrants, cause imagine setting someone up for the best life possible and they still become a hoodlum.
