Thanks for writing this, Rachel. One of the things I first noticed about the Columbus area of Ohio is its diverse population, and that is one of the things I most enjoy. No matter what anyone says, the US is a country of immigrants, and we need to continue welcoming them.

I hope this gets the attention of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. She's probably the highest Somali elected official

Thanks for this, Rachel! It's good to hear about some of our true civil servants, in addition to the stooges for the millionaires in Cols. I "gave my thoughts" to Rep Gross on her contact page, which doesn't even have a check box for requesting replies. Since I'm not in her district (I'm in Cuyahoga Co) it will probably go straight to her spam folder

All you needed to say was, "A black man used words that white people didn't understand" and we can fill the rest in.
