BTW, EVERY other ethnic group tries harder to assimilate than Somalis...I have Palestinian friends get nicknames like "Eddie" to hide their real name Ahmed. But you will never see a Somali call himself Eddie or Tony or any of that.
African Americans hate us because they think we are beholden to them, that we have to kiss their ass to be acceptable. We are a proud people who never kissed anyone’s ass, and we are not going to start now. They hate us just like they hate all refugees who settle in their neighborhoods. They have harassed us, beat our youth and killed some of us, and expect we should love them. They hate us, because in the short time we have been here we have opened businesses and many of us got educated. They will love us, when we all lose our culture, history and religion.
