I’m sick and tired of Somali people normalizing begging. I can’t go shopping anywhere without bunch of people circling me as soon as I step outside asking for money- men, women, children. I’ve even seen strong abled bodied women asking for money. Also, this I’ve noticed from relatives, you give them money and they keep asking for more and more and more, it never ends. I swear the amount of money I’ve given to some people, they could have bought a Tuktuk, or something and made money for themselves.
this mentality is also found with some of the daisphora community in which they’ll look for ways to get support from the government. I see many immigrant communities like the Filipino community and they work hard and contribute to society. It’s frustrating that being lazy and begging for money is being normalized and not viewed as shameful.
