Sweden has no major problems with racism. I don't know who told you that Sweden has a "horrible racism"? About 15% of the population in Sweden are born in another country. There is a problem of higher rates of un-employment among immigrants (the whole group that is) and other social problems, that partly is because of a failed immigration policy on behalf of the Swedish government and partly because Swedes are quite difficult as a “people” to get really close to (a fact that is not to be confused with xenophobia, however).

On a personal level, there is always people who have had bad experiences in Sweden, but compared to mainland Europe, Sweden does not have any larger organizations or groups that are “racist” and the level of systematic discrimination is low.

I do not think you should be worried about coming here.
