Rascism in Sweden ?

[JamesT]

u people are scaring me~~~~~~~~

But my dad was once in Stockholm, & he said that the people were so friendly and helped him out when he needed some help~

So, how is the general picture like? I personally think the new generation won't have that much racist inclinations ... is that true?

Racism is pretty common everywhere. It's like greed or lust.

I think jealousy and pride are some of the prime factors.

Racism is everywhere, unfortunately, is kind of human reaction to anything seems different from your surrounded enviroment. I've been few times in Sweden and although in general people is very nice and gentle, they are quite aprehensive to (dark) foreigners. I have heard swedish refering to refugees (Mostly came from Chile and Turkey)as kind of dangerous community and lack for the country. As Latina I can not share that view. World population is made everywhe for migrants and those who have not a position as "natives" work harder to find a place inside societies

Yes, division of species and is partly what keeps the less-rational mind from mating with a pig. I also see transplanted people choosing to isolate and create sub-cultures, sometimes from survival/protection necessity. So, different language (cryptic code), different daily regimen (economic disruption), adds work, it's more work to accomodate. Who wants the work of social integration, especially when the transplanted people may cultivate the hate?

A policy of forced integration helping diversify -- into the home, where our children are shipped away to live in another society. Many parents would enjoy this, but not if their household children are replaced with other children. I barely can tolerate my mother visiting -- it's a problem.
