>>1440411Because Minnesota has a strong culture of charity and the white man's burden, so we accept more refugees than most states. They took a lot of meat processing jobs from the Jews, so the towns with chicken and beef slaughterhouses are also places where you can run into Somalis, if you're wondering if you might run into any which aren't in the 494/694 loop.
We actually prosecute spousal abuse though, so the Somali population is currently falling (Many are moving to Tucson). The Americanized blacks are worse in any case, but still rare compared to most states, and highly urban. The real nuisance animals when /out/ are the feather Indians and the hmong, and we've got a fair number of both.
