Original Note:
Somalis and their flags had nothing to do with the new Minnesota flag. The artist isn't Somali, and the flag is made of and inspired by state elements: https://www.keloland.com/keloland-com-original/luverne-artist-makes-history-with-mn-flag-design/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27%C3%89toile_du_Nord https://mn.gov/portal/brand/style-guide/colors/ The flag was selected by an independent panel, of which neither Omar nor any Somali are members: https://www3.mnhs.org/serc
