Wallahi were perfect!!!!! A lot off popular athletes are from here, the first group that immigrated here left for the UK, so you mostly just got the second wave refugees living here.don't know much abt them what are y'all like
People here just mind their own business, we aren’t loonatic terrorists like reer UK, but we also aren’t known for gang violence and or criminality like reer Canada or Murica. You don’t got people eyeing you up and down and being in your business like that.
The Netherlands has a huuugeeee diaspora group from other countries though, so the whole thing with Somalis being hated in the UK was a problem here too, but we as a collective group stood by each other and didn’t let others demean us. So we also don’t have gender wars kr smt like that.

Omggg reer Nikkitutorials!!! Love the name
Wallahi we just mind our own business. A lot off people living here in the Netherlands don’t know a lot about us, so integrating has been bit off a problem, but outside off that we’re doing pretty good for ourselves!
we sadly don’t have invested in ourselves in terms off having our own cultural hangouts & restaurants, but we are growing in that aspect since a lot off people here came from Somalis in the mid to late 2000s.
You guys keep invading the uk. Is netherlands that bad?

to have so much sun you get sick of it unfairGlad you like it lolOmggg reer Nikkitutorials!!! Love the name
Alx that's great to hear!
Do other Muslim/African communities get blamed for crimes instead of Dutch-Somalis?
I heard, in Sweden because Somalis are the dominant black group there, they get all the blame for most saqajaan behaviour that goes on in the country. Is it similar to that for you guys?
Sounds a little bit like Australia in the sense that we are a younger diaspora (mid 90s to early 2000s was our peak in immigration) but it's different in that we have a tight-knit Somali community with youth events that go on regularly.
Inshallah, it gets better for you guys

I heard you guys are more religious on average. That can’t be possible since netherlands is such a heathen country?
There was actually two influxes of the dutch migration. One happened in the 2000’s and this recent one in the late 2010’s and 2020s
If I’m ever feeling hateful or depressed i literally just walk outisde for my daily iga run. Having the sun has so many mental benefits I think that’s why reer uk are miserable ( alongside other Europeans )
I don't trust any of these Reer Viking users who claim to be on deen online, I just know they get up to some Scandi-lous behaviour irl
