They have a separation when it comes to black people on the FAFSA application (Somali is one of the options).

[samira24]

The fact Somali is on there shows how much noise we make because our name have no business being on there while the other ethnicities being on the list makes more sense since there's lots of them in this country compared to Somalis, in fact there are more Ghanaians and Cape Verdeans in this country than Somalis yet they not on the list.

 

[Sol]

I used to always tick other on these things and then fill in Somali

 

[Mayor]

I think that's because Nigerians, Ethiopians, and Somalis are the three largest African communities in America

Also the 2020 US census had the option for you to pick Somali as your origin. This was my first time filling the census since the last one happened while I was still in high school. But I don't think they had Somali as a choice

It looks like the African population in America grew a lot in the 2010s so now we're more visible on government applications

am proud madow

America hardly has many somalis outside Minnesota, our numbers are over exaggerated we are probably no more than 50k yet our presence makes us look like we are 5 million in the states, and that shows how the rotten part of our community made us extra vocal than even Ethiopians who are way more in the states than us. This isn't looking good.

[Mohmed]

They are gonna deny certain benefits if your African. I'm proud African-American sxb. Reparations when?

 

[Mayor]

Ohio and Minnesotta alone have almost 100K Somalis. When you add the Somalis that live in the rest of the country this number isn't that unrealistic

I keep telling people that the Somali population in the US a lot larger than what you guys think it is

Somalis don't only live in Minneapolis or St. Paul. A large amount of them live in the suburbs and in other parts of the state such as St. Cloud. Same with Ohio

I can confidently say that MN has around 50K Somalis in the entire state while Ohio probably has around 30K. This is not even including Washington state which also has a big Somali community

Idk what to tell you but you are definitely underestimating how many Somalis are in this country

America is big, and there are so many Somali communities spread across the country. We even have a couple thousand living in random ass places like South Dakota and Maine

I'm one of those that live in a random place in America, that's why I'm so shocked how large we are in numbers in this country.

 

[Bazed]

We pestered them so much that they're changing survey options.

that doesn't mean shit we hardly exist there. Period.

is a lie sis we barely exist outside mn, colombus and seattle. What state you from? you don't need to tell me directly but it would be interesting to know to see if somalis exist

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

@samira24 There are more Somalis then Ghanaians in America according to the census don’t underestimate how many people America brought

 

[attash]

Tf is a Cape Verdean?

Whatever they are, they definitely don't outnumber us in the US. Our community is a lot larger than you think.
