I agree, people in London and Birmingham/Bristol etc are well aware of how Somalis look like but imagine if a group of fat Saudis were used to play a film about English people? They would be offended however it will never happen since the broadcasting company wouldn't let them. It's the fact that it was played on national TV with the allowed blatant racism.Muslimstruggler wrote:I was so angry when I saw this first, but now I got over it and moved on. Somalis are being mocked everywhere anyway. I think the people in the UK will know how Somalis really look like, especially those that live in London and Birmingham, so I don't really care at the end of the day.

The guy is playing a Somali character, there are many episodes that are broadcasted everyday on television.Basra- wrote:Nothing racist about it. They didn't mention the word Somali. What r u talking about?
The whole show is under attack because of the stuff it contains about Islam in general.Hodan94 wrote:So whats the plan to complain to the bbc....maybe kill of the character from the show?
Yeah I know, but if you think about it, they also totally misrepresent the Pakistani community although not as much the Somalis. I dont know why people keep confusing Somalis with other black people when they clearly look different. Something else, I know people say Somalis are black, even other Somalis, but the truth is Somalis are actually Afro-Asiatic peoples of the Horn.hydrogen wrote:I agree, people in London and Birmingham/Bristol etc are well aware of how Somalis look like but imagine if a group of fat Saudis were used to play a film about English people?
