It says she was born in Sudan. To me she looks Sudanese but lied about coming from Somalia to gain asylum. Too many Africans are notorious for doing this.

I don't think this woman is Somali. I am certain she is Sudanese but lied where she came from to gain asylum. She doesn't look Somali to me at all.

I've never had Arab friends nor Asian friends. Weird, but I just never really wanted to get to know them and I'm jut turned off by them. A lot of them are delusional about their self-worth and they have this "I'm better than everyone" attitude for no good reason. The thing about Somalis is that we tend to judge each other too harshly. I feel like Somalis expect everyone to have the same interests, same goals, dress the same and have similar beliefs. Any body who is an individual is completely shunned. I think this is the reason why a lot of successful, artistic, creative people tend to avoid the Somali community. There's too much looking for other's flaws or dirt.

Sorry, cadaan, didn't mean to offend you.

^ It boggles my mind how Somalis can air out their dirty laundry. Lord have mercy. What the hell is wrong with us? There were too many exaggerations in that forum.

Hey Marcas, I've seen all of your videos and I definitely agree with you on a lot of the points you made. I just hope people listen to what you have to say in order to make changes within their own family and wider community. Maybe you can make a video about creating neighbourhood watches where Somali men can patrol the streets late at night to make sure there are no gangs. Just putting ideas out there.

Somaliand is peaceful and has been for many years. We landers have never killed one another so please don't generalize. Its best to specific when you make a comment like " slaughtering each other" .

What happened to the first boys? Did they find a home?

Why does this always happen whenever a large group of Somalis move somewhere. Seriously. Why don't Somalis conduct themselves well in public? Why are they so damn arrogant? Also, are Somalis really terrible drivers? I keep hearing that.

Nigerians? Jamaicans? Lord have mercy. You guys have bad taste in men. Those guys are ugly. Now, mixed guys, those guys are hot.

Lets be honest here. The Somali boys didn't just wake up one day and decide to be criminals. There were precursors which began in the home. Somali parents have too many kids. How do you expect to raise 10 kids in an expensive city like London? Its just crazy. Somali men are lazy in the UK, they don't work and chew khat every day. I watched the dispatches program and it said 7/10 Somalis don't work. What the hell? Lazy parents who aren't supportive of their kids leads to these types of boys. Parents are role models for their kids and if they see their mom and dad not working and depending on government aid, this will create a cycle. I'm tired of these unproductive Somali parents expecting the community to raise their kids. Sorry, that job started with you when you decided to pop out 10 kids. Sheesh.

Its not racist. Its prejudice. I hate when people misuse the word 'racism'. I expected better from you lot.

Large foreheads and buck teeth are human traits that anyone can have. Honestly, when outsiders stereotype us it doesn't bother me. Its when Somalis themselves who perepetuate these false claims that its annoying. Be proud of your big forehead but understand that not all Somalis have one too.

Angolans, Ghanians, Egyptians and Tanzanians.
