Same is true for Filipinos and the Chinese. They only thrive in countries where the support system is already there (infrastructure, rule of law, democracy,etc).
If so why aren't the Somalis in west not thriving ?

Why do you view success as a standard set and defined by the West? There is a great deal of imperfection and destructiveness associated with this capitalist framework.
So what if Somalis don't culturally cohere to Western ideologies! Many cultures don't, especially nomadic ones!
I would rather my material wealth be defined by xoolaha aan leeyahay rather than laboring in this blindly gluttonous system.

For Asians, success is part of their culture and is associated with face and honour - concepts alien to a modern somali.
Let's take the east asian indhayar example; they are a very hierarchical and structured society. This is due to the teachings of Confucius which placed two things at the utmost of importance - obeying authority and education. With hierarchy (not a good thing really), comes stability and very few examples of civil war and upheaval. With emphasis on education comes academic success and financial gain. Take valuing education, valuing and obeying your superiors and you get a lot of successful east asians
Now let's look at South asians, mostly Indians and Bengali hindus; these guys are from a very hierarchical and patriarchal society. They also believe in something called 'Artha'. Artha is one of the pillars of Hindu religion and it means worldliness - in other words, success and wealth are part of their religion. Add this to strict parents who are constantly on top of their kids and take no nonsense and you get a lot of successful indians and bengalis. Pakis are useless, but even they are ahead of us.
We have failed as a people. You only have to look at the airhead bimbos and tribalist imbeciles on this forum to see we are xoolo. Do not compare people who have had 5000 year old civilizations and increased human culture and knowledge to a people who discovered how to write in the 70s and even then had to borrow from cadaan latin.

The Asians in the US are mostly a selected elite population (the top 5%) of their countries.
They are not representative of their average countrymen.
While the Somalis living in the West are more or less ''average Somali'' refugees.

You need people like me to rule over you barbarians. I would bring honour to the Somali name. I would give your children a chance to live a dignified life.
But you guys want khat and clan wars and Al Shabab and your cousin to be President and a hyena locked in your brothers bedroom to take the demons out of him
Half of you need to be wiped out in order to save the Somali people.
I am,

Indian's shitty living conditions is due to over population. Can you imagine if they were just 200million instead of being 1.4 billion?

That isn't true. With 1 billion+, they should have figured a way to use that to their advantage by now. They have existed way longer than any western civilization.
They are corrupted and stupid just as any other African country. And when people say India is the biggest democracy in the world, that too is a lie. They still have caste system in their country.
Indians are just one step above the Somalis and Ethiopians.

Very very true. And if the ones living in America are the top 5%, then I'd hate to see what the bottom 40% is like.
I am not impressed with the Indians and the Chinese I met here so far. They are no better than the Nigerians, Ethiopians and Somalis I meet on daily basis.
The ones that work at Silicon valley are the exception and def not the rule. There are thousands more who work at menial jobs at gas stations, fast food restaurants and taxi drivers.

I am sick and tired of people pointing fingers at only MN.
Yes MN has alot of single mothers who depend on the government, yes there also elders who solely depend on social security supplement.
But 70% of business owners in MN are Somalis, whether it's Restaurants, food market, clothing shop, day care and many more. While most of you are working for minimum wage, Most Somalis in MN own their businesses. 80% of our Somali youths are either in School or Have a career, whether it's accounting, nursing, business management and Engineering. Every company in MN there's a Somali person working there, I can't say the same about other states or Countries especially Eurotrash, Most of you are still being racially profiled when it comes to job opportunities. MN is a welcoming state and there are alot of opportunities here. So don't you dare sit behind your keyboard and talk shit about MN Somalis.

I dunno what this has to do with what we are talking about, but whatever I'd bite.
If MN is as utopian as u described, how do you explain the constant homicides, shootings, gang warfare between Somalis, and my favorite - Somali Jihadists who fight overseas.

WTF are you talking about, how about Canada, San Diego, Ohio, London, Norway, Sweden? They all have jihadist, gang members and homicides, how come nobody is pointing the finger at them? The most successful Somalis live in MN, we are also charitable. But Somalis from other places don't see that, they're just haters.

i think we should all just agree that the
Current generation of somalis in the west are making a name for themselves and taking advantage of that world...the stigma put on somalis are because of the older generation who go threw hell and back to make their children leaders and someone of value. lets judge ourselves in 10 -15 years when the mistakes of the older generation aren't so fresh. personally i have met intelligent and hard working people from all walks of life, lets celebrate each other, instead of criticizing and separating ourselves.
