They’ve given us plenty of material for some pretty good memes.

I’m all for the destruction of this country if the end result is the ability to purchase a bowl of food truck curry slop.

ETA - sure its "good" but you raving as if its something special that is akin to French, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Cuban, Mexican, Cajun is laughable.

I dunno - but I thought that statement was made in jest.

They're all multimillionaires so they spend money into the economy.

Somalian food is ironically pretty delicious

Name one positive thing Somalis have contributed to America

I cant name one positive thing Somalis have contributed to humanity...

Frankincense, myrrh, and cinnamon grow there, but thats far from a contribution by the people.

Ethiopians have contributed a number of works of art to humanity...

I checked with AI for a quick search, they:
Had a unique ship design and were involved in trade.
Possibly domesticated the Camel.

It had some other insanity like early adopter of Islam and ethnomath.
Also they seem to have a unique poetry style that they use for diplomatic exchange.

But yea 2 things, one of which is only theoretical.

I’m gonna say that neither eating that food or laying a gal that wanted to eat at a Somali restaurant was worth it. Sounds like she didn’t want to be in public view and was turned on by the skinny black with the long BBD

When Somalis took control of 12-story tall, 1000 foot long tankers in the Indian Ocean with nothing more than a bass boat and rusty bolt action rifles, they taught America that anything is possible if you are unwilling to fight back.

And Somalian is what you land on?

No, that’s not his point. He just said he likes their cuisine, not that every time he strays from American food he eats Somalian. I eat all kinds of ethnic food, as do most people reading this. If someone asked, “Name one thing the Chinese/Japanese/Colombians/Mexicans/Arabs contributed to America” their cuisine is an obvious answer. It was a correct post that runs against the Zeitgeist so it’s being mindlessly denounced.

Those foods are known and have tasty meals.

I don't know nor ever heard anything great about whatever it is Somalis eat.

Your ignorance of the matter is not salient to the discussion.
