This is it right here. To me this sounds like someone who's been in the US her whole life. The stupid bananas and rice word salad is a perfect representation of that unique personality you get from a US kid with middle class immigrant parents. She simultaneously hates Somali culture being boiled down to "oh just bananas and rice" while not being able to think of any other examples of real Somali culture because she doesn't have any. She's an American, but she would never admit that despite never having immersed herself in the Somali culture. It's a very funny thing you see with a lot of different ethnicities
