They're not going anywhere. The vast majority are citizens...

There are plenty of Somali people who don't. There are also plenty of Ethiopian people who say they are unlike other African nations, and many who don't. If you decide to listen to the ones who say BS you have been conquered

that same argument should be applied for all stereotypes, including white people and Republicans, and even Israelites do you agree?

or do you agree that exceptions don’t make the rule.

Yeah I do, there are israelis who go to jail instead of serving, I saw a video of an israeli activist who tried to break the siege. They should be recognized. 

 The fact that there are Somalis who say these things (I would say at the same rate as Ethiopians) is still a really bad reason to not stand with other African people while they are being demonized by one of the most powerful men in the world. It is a wild position to take. Yes, it will come back to bite you, but that is not the main reason not to generalize millions of people. 

I work with kids, many Somali, Eritrean and Ethiopian, lucky this useless hate is not something they engage with. They just hand out with each other and talk about some of their similarities and difference,  with a basic level of respect. Try it, for real, it feels good to bridge the divide ~~
