What if the Refugees Were Blonde and Blue-Eyed Swedes?
¡No Pasarán! ^ | October 1, 2015 | Erik (only name given)

Shall we try to figure out what the refugee story is all about?

Specifically, if it has anything to do with Europeans', or Westerners' racism?

In that perspective, let us imagine that the refugees are not Syrians but Swedes — blonde, blue-eyed souls with fellow European and Christian roots.

Wouldn't that prove that the animosity towards the mainly Arab and/or Muslim refugees is all about racism?

Be honest, dude: Wouldn't I be eager to help if the refugees turned out to be of fellow Scandinavian stock?

A fascinating, EXTREMELY well-thought-out-piece. And the title is not clickbait -- but a way of coming at the main point from an unexpected angle.

You'll be dumbstruck with awe, and grinning to yourself by the end.

Spread it around!

Did you actually read the whole piece?

Your comments, while true, and relevant, don't reflect the gist, let alone the conclusion of the piece.

Since we’re playing stupid games:

What would happens if 10,000 blond-haired, blue-eyed Swedes sought refugee status in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, or ANY African country.

"What if the Refugees Were Blonde and Blue-Eyed Swedes?"

They'd end up voting Marxist democrat and push for mass immigration of third world Muslim slime. Say NO to Euro trash immigration.

Actually I read it and found it a little too drawn out with too many examples trying to illustrate the problem that “even other Muslim/Arab countries don’t want them” - because of concerns for their own populace. Curiously, we can’t even make any headway here on illegals by pointing out that Mexico has far stronger (some might say Draconian) immigration rules.

I think by overcompensating that point by re-racing the problem to be blonde Swedes and the like just reinforces the thought that maybe it is racism, etc. The answer for this refugee problem isn’t one that should take a novel to impart. It should be a simple one, “Even their own brother-Muslim countries won’t take them - why should we?”

Bottom line, we don’t need to import a large number of stupid, uneducated, unskilled people who are dependent and unwilling to assimilate into our culture. U. S. of A. should bring in only the brightest and best.

Remember Yugoslavia - Europe’s backyard? They ignored the little blond and red-haired children there.

Be honest, dude: Muslims suck and everyone else knows it.
Even the ragheads themselves are putting on crosses and
faking being Christians to get into these countries. They
have proven to be enemies of anyone who is not a
fellow cultist.

“Say NO to Euro trash immigration.”

Add the hispandecos to that list and I’ll agree 100%.

_____________________________________________________

No. It is about protecting the Judeo-Christian heritage of the country, and about welcoming a self-sufficient, educated group of people who share similar values.

LOL!

As a person who is 1/4 Swedish (my grandmother’s maiden name was Bloomquist!), I apologize for the wrongs of my people. Particularly the depressing literature. LOL!

(p.s., I hope the great harmonies of ABBA make up for it!)
