- Somalis are loud and their Turkish neighbours keep complaining about noise pollution.
- Somalis don't queue/stand in-line for public transport, they jump in front of locals to get on the bus.
- Somalis are not allowed to rent in Antalya anymore, unless you are a student, no more Somali tourists allowed thanks to Somali guys not paying money (I think thats what he said), also they don't return keys.
- example of bahal behaviour: A Turkish woman refused to share a seat with a Somali girl, the Somali girl jumped on her and then her Somali friends all jumped on the woman.
- Thanks to all of this and god knows what else, Somalis are being targeted and deported.
1. every community has loud people, I highly doubt Somalis cause, or even have enough people for, noise pollution. When noise pollution is generally mentioned, one expects low flying commercial jets not a handful of habars and adeers on the telephone.
2. That is due to Somalis never using public transport before and coming from a society where its dog eats dog. You think people survived anarchy in the 1990s by being in lines. It isnt their fault and the Turkish migrant organisations should have introduced them to these concepts.
3. An entire ethnicity are getting banned from a whole city because of a few cases of easily prosecutable crimes. Even if there were 10,000 cases like this in Antalya, that should not mean the discrimination against 10 million Somalis.
4. Again this not bahal behaviour but a symptom of the war. The reason why Somalis seem behaved in the West is because many went to migrant resource classes in which values and culture were taught.
5. If a government is really going to target an ethnicity over the rabsho of a minority then that is some Jim Crow behaviour.
Somalis are extremely self-critical people. We are very willing to exaggerate or accept exaggerated slander on Somalis because many of us believe that many of our people are backward. I've seen it on this forum many times, in which people are willing accept broad generalisations or complete BS about Somalis because it seems right. Instead, we should look at these assertions with clear vision and sort out the legitimate from the litigious.
Somalis should stand up for themselves more and set the record straight whenever we get generalised.
