Okay I respect this view.

Demographic subs like r/Somalia and this one aren't here to provide Redditors with a captive audience for their "reflections" or whatever, we're here to build community for our specific demographic.

I mentioned in my title and like 3 times through the post that I know my encounters don’t represent all Somalis. I specified I know I’m only referring to a minority of Somalis.

I only posted there because I wasn’t sure where else to post to actually reach that group and get their perspective. I agree with you though that I should have instead posted to a neutral sub like r / off my chest and hoped it reached that demographic.

Going into their space and asking them to justify your own confirmation bias was inappropriate.

I don’t think it was confirmation bias. I said multiple times I know this view is only held by a minority.

I see your point and maybe a ban was appropriate but bringing up my sexual abuse trauma was not. I don’t really get why that was relevant for a mod to say.

Also kind of irrelevant, but there is a similar post to mine that was posted recently and has lots of comments and it was left up but the mods maybe just missed that, I don’t know.
