Why do white racists use Somali people as a scapegoat?

[Nomoregames2019]

I don't get it. Somalis are Muslims meaning their children are born in a two parent household unlike in other black communities. Studies have shown children who grow up in a one single parent household are likely to commit more crimes as they grow older.

Second point they bring up is Somali people living in the west commit more crimes. I really haven't seen much data to back this up unlike other data that shows African Americans in the USA committing all of the violent murders and Afro Carb people in the UK being locked up on a huge scale.

More crimes than who?

There isn't much evidence, I'm saying they target Somali people more so than AAs, Jamaicans and Nigerians.

Because we are Muslim , Black, Immigrants/ Refugees. We tick off all boxes they are afraid of.

If they hate Black Americans who are Christian, speak English, fought every war, build this nation from ground up and contribute to every aspect of American culture and life, then the racist really don't need to excuses to have more hatred for the rest of us.

This is why it's best to ignore them and focus on ur life, don't pay them any mind or seek their approval

No.

No.

No you.

A white person will pick an AA Christian over a Somali any day white people view Muslims as a bigger threat than black people as of right now in America at least

From what I hear in UK Pakistanis are usually the scapegoat out of all the Muslim ethnic groups living there and not Somalis but I could be wrong

 

[Qali]
