The large number of recent Somali immigrants has caused some problems here in MN. Mainly because they are considered the "good" African Americans by many in the mainstream. As a result, social service funding, academic scholarships, etc. that once went to American-born African Americans are now going to African-born African Americans.

I've also seen this in California, to a smaller extent.
On a related note, a soror who I know has said that many of her chapter's scholarship recipients are Ethiopian immigrants or first-generation Americans. We have a UG soror who is a first-generation American of Ethiopian parentage.
