So threads like this Somali guy/girl went on this platform and did this embarassing thing, some how we all find it and then it becomes a topic.
I watched the stream of that Somali guy going on FITXFEARLESS. Sure it was embarassing for him and I think he shouldn't have done it but if you watch the stream, there's countless other folk from different countries all basically on the same shenanigans.
Some reasons why we probably care more
1) We're more of a minority and easily identifiable so one persons actions reflect poorly on all of us
2) Lack of positive media, in fact we get negative media.
3) Too interconnected. (This is a strength and weakness) word travels fast
All I can come up with at the moment.
So basically everyone else apart from maybe indians has more soft power aka better media representation and are less identifiable.
Will we always have to make a thread on the next farah/xalimo that does something unbecomming? or is this more normal and other ethnicities do it as well, its just not in our view.
