Somali Americans: Have you ever experienced racism? What's it like living in America these days?

Have you ever experienced any racism in the US?

Also, what's it like in the USA these days? In my mind, I have this image of Karens everywhere, Liberals and Conservatives fighting on the streets, Critical Race theaory debates at the grocery store lol.

There’s Karen’s all throughout America and even Europe. But it doesn’t really affect your day to day. I had few instances where cops were called on me and my friend for just sitting by a gazebo during night time. White people are weird like that.

Most Americans don’t talk politics in public, it’s seen as taboo.

Edit: just remembered more racist incidents from republican suburban county I lived in. They do it every minority. Black, Latino , etc

Honestly no, not even in small towns.
