His statements go far beyond suggesting Somalis "are not integrating". He calls non-whites "destructive" and paints both Hmong and Somalis in extremely negative terms AS A GROUP, assigning the the entire group very unflattering personality traits. He suggests point blank that they are INCAPABLE of understanding or doing better. Finally, he references racist webpages (whiteamerica? - get real!)

Lastly, I would imagine Somalis chose MN because the government made it attractive for them to be there and eventually there was a Somali community that they would feel comfortable in. Does that make them lazy, or smart enough to go someplace where their chance for success and acceptance is higher?

Despite my getting up at 4:30 every morning for work, my family is on government assistance right now too. Does that mean I'm lazy; or do I get a pass because I'm white (of Scandinavian descent no less!) and was born in the good ol' US of A?
