I've known a couple in my life and despite the weird stereotypes you see on tv and the internet, they seemed okay people to me.Generally, I've been able to see a group of people and said, "There's good and bad people in every group." The only group I struggle with is the Somali population here in Minnesota. I've worked with them for years and I've seen the good and the bad. A couple of them - that I worked for - really ended up f'ing me over a few years back and the anger I get from that has mostly gone but comes back every once in a while. It's really hard to not let emotions take over and condemn the entire group of them even though I have met plenty that were great people.I was fortunate to be married for about a year and a half a while back. She was half-Somali, half-Arab. The divorce was rough, but in the end we kind of agreed it was better for both of us. We didn't talk for a time, but eventually we became friends again. So we do stuff every once in a while and talk about how things are going. And man, she sometimes complains about her own people and some of the things she's said, it make it really hard to remember the good ones.Like what is going on with this political and religious situation in America. It's REALLY hard not to see the others as "the enemy", but I am sure there are good people with opposing political and religious views that have been basically shoved into the background by the vocal minority (which basically sums up the internet, hah). I think it is always important to remember those people even with all the other crap going on.Honestly, I think everyone has the right to be here and the only people that should be shipped off are the people that actively work against that right. Anyone that legitimately says someone should be shipped off due to their own prejudice really should be the ones shipped off themselves. To where? I don't know, I'm sure we can find some empty island somewhere to deposit all of those people.</blockquote>
