Beyond the fact that this shows once again America is where an immigrant can feel home it also shows me that Somali immigrants are cementing their place as one of the most pronounced immigrant groups to the West in the 21st century becoming important in continuing a long immigrant tradition where Ambassadors between Western countries start to notice them

The exchange was initiated by the American ambassador to Denmark, Laurie S Fulton, in conjunction with the Danish Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration. Fulton said that young Somalis have trouble feeling accepted into Danish society and a recent trip she took to Minnesota inspired her to initiate the programme.


“Danish integration minister Karen Hækkerup hosted a workshop several months ago for Somali Danes; I offered to host a reception that Karen attended and that’s how we talked about trying to get them together,” Fulton said. “One of the many common issues that Denmark and the US share is helping the Somali immigrants that come to our nations become successful citizens.

Important insight Somali Danes gained about:

1.) How easy Somalis consider themselves Americans
2.) How self-reliance leads to success

“The most powerful thing I witnessed is the way people perceive themselves here,” said Yusra Oman, a 23-year-old who studies religion and science at the University of Copenhagen. “They see themselves as Somalis and as Americans. Not just the young people, but the elders of the community too. That's important, because in our culture we have great respect for the elders.”

“You get what you earn here in Minneapolis,” said Ahmed Jama, a 25-year-old from Aarhus. “Everyone has personal responsibility here, because the government doesn’t do things for them. Here, people have their own identity.”

somali americans are not like these savage geeljire people

I have been monatering far right movements in europe and I pray somalis are kicked out of europe

I am hoping to implement a Aliyah policy towards somalis in europe, so the more the natives despise them the better for me

its time to go home

america is build upon ideas and principles, europe is a classic ethnic nation state, somalis can never integrate

Only in Europe is fadhi ku dirir funded by tax payers money
Somalis live an aristocratic lifestyle and it’s that lifestyle that makes qaad, qamri and hip hope culture attractive just like Europeans aristocrats used to spend most of their time on leisure.

maahmaah ba tirir
Hawiye ceeb kama baqee, caydhbuu ka baqaa

I believe that maahmaah describes somalis in europe well because somali hate to be mentioned on tv but have no problem with 80% unemployment rate amoung woman and 60% unemployment among man

somalis are white supremacist wet dream because somalis realy back up racist view with evidence

It's not as if Somalis in the US are inherently "superior" to those in Europe. Most of these European welfare states have policies in place that tend to foster an entitlement culture, in addition to policies (generalizing a bit) that make it virtually impossible for Somalis there to open many of the small businesses and shops that we in the US tend to take for granted.

How can these retarded Danes think they can learn from Somalis in the US when it's their fiscal and social policy that's promoting the supposed "laziness" of their Somalis?

The Danish and the whole Scandinavians r missing one thing, the problem lies their Social system which doesnt encourage work but creates barriers.
