@Gracias Take this part in Miss ThickheadI don’t get why somalis are prone to using individual cases to make blanket statements.
Femicide is still relatively alien to us, most of us (if not all) do not know people irl who’ve been killed by a lover. We’re most likely underrepresented in this kind of crime, yet all types of broad statements are made about the men of our ethnic group based on the occasional case here and there. It’s weird.
Black brits (westafricans/caribbeans) in the UK are overrepresented in femicide, especially in London. They few times I’ve seen ppl discuss this online they don’t mention ethnic group, they’re smart enough to label it a ’black’ issue rather than name specific ethnic groups (to avoid stereotypes & stigmatization).
