The UK govt planning to give Somalis their own Somali label in 2021 census

[The alchemist]

This is not good, guys.

@Yonis @x z @hodon I am really dissapointed in you 3 and the lack of self-dignity, trust, and criminal behaviour. Yes, I said it, criminal behaviour. The main reason you three oppose this specific group is because you don't want to be 'exposed'. You want to keep being benefit scroungers while hiding under the 'black name'. You guys can't seem to understand that the new generations of somalis are all leaving these areas and actually finding good jobs to go up a level. I don't know what your plans are but from what I've seen, I've never seen a somali family stay getting benefits from the government even after they received an education in the west.

I honestly hope they show all our dirty laundry. If somalis continue being criminals and in poverty even after all the benefits and education they receive, then they rightfully deserve any racism directed at them. Maybe instead of trying to hide your mess you should try fixing it.

the dirt should stay where it belongs

the less the govt knows the better.
by the way I don't think we get the notification for tags, i just happened to click on the thread again

eaze it, we can dicuss without name calling. if you look at My other posts you can see i call out the scorungers and welfare reciepents, im just saying as embarassing as it is, more ammo for the right wing is never a good thing, as hate crimes will rise if somalis get villified. and also, we're clearly all talking about 40+ somalis, everyone knows the youngers are doing well for themselves, but the data collected reflects their generation, not ours, and the youngers havent yet finished school or into the workforce in large numbers yet to change numbers to be more positive

Wasn’t you fetishizing the somali-london british accent a couple of minutes ago nayaaheeee

british accent is nice when yall arent rapping about shanking hooligans down the alleyway after a cup of tea

Seriously though, optics aside I don’t see how this could harm us. We can make use of more government funding for our organizations if there are disparities in stats...

waxaad ka cararteen wadan funding iyo aid ku waashey, just to end up in a rich country still wanting and waiting for funding and not taking advantage of the free market system to become self sufficient. the state cannot help you, if you dont help yourself

are you the same as the xyz person or am I mistaken?

 

[Sophisticate]

i agree but i also dont agree with this. this will further alienate somalis from other groups, why cant similar people like habeshas and sudanese stuff have this too? feels too isolating to me

Because they aren't as vocal as Somalis that make noise wherever they go. In this case, its not all bad as disaggregated data might work in their favour.

The UK is a place that I am very interested in visiting, I was told that young somalis speak good somali, so I want to really test that theory

 

[DalsanJubiland]

I think that is very bad, they should be part of Black people.
Here in the United State, i am happy with black American.
I don't even like to check or to i identify as African American.
I prefer BLACK.

I'd rather we be isolated and have the "high" crime rates, poverty rates etc because at least we'd actually know the figures and it's easier to actually try to fix the problem

Somalis are over 100k and they have nothing in common with Blacks(Bantus)

 

[Abdisamad]

This is a huge L for the sjw Somalis

Whatever negatives it might bring I believe overall it's a good thing.

Wohooo

word. they are only loud online. but the racism here is much more rife than back home in canada lol, cause back in toronto noone can tell you go home to your country this isnt your land, cause it aint no neaderthal property either, it belongs to natives.first nations. in europe it is still technically white mans land, and natives there might never see you as equal. the only european nation where you are even allowed/ its normal to identifty with your nationality is UK and France. In ireland they laugh at a black person calling themselves Irish, same with swedes and most other nations in europe. in uk noone hardly ever questions you if you call yourself I british, same way i would never get questioned if i call myself canadian, or an american, as these arent seen as white.

with the rising hate and alt right gaining momentum, i feel like a purge on minorities is imminent. cant even tell yall to strap up, but i can tell you to get your knives ready

Pathetic
Why are you so attached to the black label
All data has been available forever and we already look different to the black community
It literally changes nothing
If you are so weak
Just tick other

This is how I've always been doing it
