I can say this with some objectivity because I wasn't even raised in Africa but to be honest the most bacaac (and by bacaac I mean the most ignorant in the West, the most lost, least cultured, and least able to adapt) are the Somalis from big cities like Xamar and Kismaayo.
Not everyone from there, but the people that were born there in the 70's and very, very early 80's.
I get very surprised sometimes because I would see a person I know for a fact was just taken from their village and brought here and I would see them working with zeal, driving nice car, laying down foundation, have blackberries,etc and are even better with their families in terms of how they provide for them as well as how they keep up with their kids. And pay attention I am talking about Somalis who were in villages as late as 2001-2003.
The majority of the people I have seen that are from Xamar or Kismaayo, even if they were born there in the late 60's are bacaac. They are lazy, unwilling to adapt, are 100% the guys that loiter around in cafe shops not working or getting educated, and the mothers who only care about what gold she is going to get from Dubai while her kids are headed down the wrong way.
I know this is coming off to strong but I am glad you opened this topic. There is NOTHING that irritates me more then 35-50 year old men calling themselves "ciyaalka xaafada". Dude grow the fock up.
Now hypothesis why this is the case.
The thing is I think Somalis, like most other third-worlders, had negative perceptions of WESTERNIZATION in the 70's and 80's. They attempted to acculturate themselves to a deviant and largely non-existent form of Westernization and so when they came to the real thing it was hard to rewire themselves and catch up to the reality. The Somali taken from the village is not hardwired with negative perceptions of Westernization so when he comes here and is challenged he expects it. The Somali from Xamar and Kismaayo, especially Xamar since it was the capital and this is where that deviant culture took root, his perceptions of fitting in as a "Reer magaal" is outstripped by his lack of will; which is something he did not arm himself with as a young man in carefree third world capital and finds it hard to cultivate willpower right now. So the Somali from Xamar just drifts...
Trust this is 100% my observation and I am talking about the Somali crew that were born in Xamar from the 70's to early 80's, roughly what I call the "lost generation".
p.s. I have never seen any status accorded to somebody being from Xamar or the big cities. Usually such things are always delegated by clan membership, which is my observation.
