This can be said for all Somali integration attempts, by 2015 onwards we were just another African immigrant group in the west. We were no longer the new group and our "uniqueness" had faded.
then in 2020 lockdown, our online troll/incel/nationalists struck. They're the most powerful group of incels ever strictly because of their outreach, going out of their way to make every demographic on earth hate us. They effectively managed to convince the masses that we are the most self hating, racist and horrible humans alive. They've even successfully rewrote parts of our culture and history to make us seem significantly worse than we actually are.
Their outreach is so powerful that this reputation has stuck. you guys think this is a joke but think about it 2020 is when they went mainstream and we're in 2025, half a decade of this propaganda to the wider world, they've succeeded in their mission of irreversibly damaging our perception world wide
