Swedes Cool Towards Ethnic Diversity
The Local ^ | October 24, 2008 | David Landes

Posted on 10/25/2008 11:57:18 AM PDT by Bushwacker777

"Greater numbers of Swedes are expressing hostility towards ethnic diversity, according to a new study.

According to the annual diversity barometer carried out by researchers at Uppsala University, the percentage of the Swedish population with extremely negative attitudes toward ethnic diversity has increased by 50 percent since 2005.

“The extremely negative attitudes are increasing, and we believe it’s in line with what’s happening in Europe. It’s not only older, but also younger who are negative,” said Orlando Mella, a sociology professor from Uppsala University, to the Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper."

It would have been smarter to understand the problems of the Third World before importing them.

Wow. So much for all that sophiscated European multiculturalism bs, lecturing us Americans as they do about how ‘’racist’’ we are. What a joke.

I tend to think that every one understands the problems of the Third World.One does not mention the problem out of courtesy. The problem for many Western countries is their political “leadership.” In the United States it is the lust for political power that drives the importation of Third Worlders. My sister lives in Ohio and she reports the government is bringing Somalians into Columbus(I think that was the city she named)at the rate of 3500 per month. The State of Maine is about gone, California is Mexicanized. I do not know about the Swedish government.

How nice of the Euros to show us how diverse-tolerant they are: now who wants to volunteer to put up posters in Saudi Arabia that shows how easy it is to “assimilate the infidels”...I mean live in harmony with the westerners.

Your Statement: “we are more concerned with pedigree pets than people.”<p.
Response: Boy you are right on this one. I heard a lady on the radio state that in a fire she would save her dog before her child.

sad commentary.

I’ve heard on talk radio that people are dropping off their teenagers at hospital emergency rooms cause they can’t care for them anymore.

the law I guess has been expanded. to encompass teenage children.

It's not so much keeping the genetics pure (there aren't too many pure bred Americans), it's keeping the western ideology of freedom pure that is important.

No sharia ghettos.

Talk about a slanted non-objective sentence.

What the Swedes object to is the raping, crime, expressed intent to dominate, taking welfare, and general anti-social and violent nature of that 'diversity'.

But leave it to the leftist press to call it hostility to ethnic diversity.

I agree with you. But when I said the same thing once, I got nasty Freepmails from other Freepers. I hope you don’t suffer the same fate.

The Swedish people, the Swedish State, the Swedish Nation has lost control of the inner city Malmö. Malmö is no longer controlled by the Swedish subjects forced to pay exorbitant taxation to pay for the welfare and law enforcement containment policies put in place by the complete traitors of the socialist left in the country.

Anything less than forced deportation of the leeches and militants is going to lead to the entire Malmö region being conquered within three generations.

I certainly don’t support racism, but if immigrants refuse to assimilate to the culture and constitutional system of their host country and want to impose Shariah law, I can see grounds for being upset.

This "waking up" is too late for Sweden. I visited in 1981 and was very surprised at the number of Muslims in Stockholm. But the Swedes didn't care back then. They were too busy getting drunk on aqua vit and watching porno movies.

Over the past 25 years, the number of Muslims entering Sweden has accelerated. Sweden has passed the point of no return. All that Swedes are waking up to is the huge mistake they made.

What I wonder is will there be a fight? The Goths initially wanted to come into the Roman Empire to farm. They were let in then sorely exploited. They then became hostile. Eventually they were controlled and in many instances expelled. Will the same thing happen in the West?

“Keeping genetics pure” is pretty creepy and not consistent with freedom. But taxing the longtime residents of a country to subsidize the importation and reproduction of people from a totally foreign culture who have no interest in joining the culture of the country they’re moving to, is self-destructive, regardless of the genetics of the importees. And equally destructive is the notion that a society is automatically “better” if its members are lots of different colors.

I do not know if it is biology, sociology or politics that keeps the Third World the Third World. However, I for one have always believed that Third Worlders are warm, rich and deep. They have invented everything and defeated the Nazi’s in WWII. They have proper relations with their families and are kind to their dogs. Now all that being acknowledged they can go home and be just as great.

Some of the voters are probably Islamists that think the ‘diversity’ of having to share Sweden with Nordics is distasteful.

Looks like the Swedes are not thinking right - better get the UN there to educate them and show them the error of their not thinking right ways.

You know, Rome was a pretty good place to live as long as the foreigners lived by “When in Rome, do as the Romans.” When the German hordes started showing up behaving like German hordes do, that’s when the place fell apart.

The UN won’t have the resources for that since Obama needs them over here to re-educate all the racists that won’t vote for him to be supreme leader.

yeah, but so is the idea of being a third world nation that we are headed to.

for what it is worth, we are sliding down a steep slope.

"Diversity" is a balkanizing poison which undermines a nation's character by diluting the values which made it strong with increasing numbers of those who share in the values of corrupt and failing nations or cultures.

America's strength has been in assimilation and as a melting pot, NOT difference-emphasizing "diversity."

You left the "old country" for a REASON. Leave your tribal warfare, your cartel's grudges, your cleptocratic ways, your theocratic impulses behind and become AMERICAN.

You are saying that unless we need to immediately through 2500 years of Western history out the window. We are to change our laws and customs and adopt Sharia las. A man can have 4 wives and woman need to be dressed with headscarves in public if not an abaya. Otherwise we will offend these so very nice immigrants.

You have a bizarre reading of the history of the Gothic invasion of the Roman Empire. Furthermore, the Swedes were not Goths. They were Vikings, and the Vikings did not come originally for land but only what they could steal and carry away. It was the Romans and their culture that civilized the Swedish barbarians.

“Malmö is no longer controlled by the Swedish subjects forced to pay exorbitant taxation to pay for the welfare and law enforcement containment policies put in place by the complete traitors of the socialist left in the country”

- I’m Swedish and believe me, I fail to see in what way my country benefits from importing Muslims.

But, on the other hand, media like Fox News provide no solution by feeding Americans and others lies about the situation over here.

Malmö is definitely not overtaken by Muslims. Rosengård is a mess, I agree, but the ghetto of Rosengård constitutes just one tenth of Malmö itself population-wise (and all of the residents of Rosengård are not Muslims). When it comes to metropolitan Malmö, Rosengård isn’t significant.

Suburbs included, Malmö boasts 650 000 prosperous inhabitants (decent for being a Scandinavian city), with a brighter future than most Europeans as well as Americans have to encounter each morning.

A handful of ridiculous Muslims matter very little in this context.

To hell with Islam.

He can find me in the back woods of Pennsylvania, in my closet, rubbing my (loaded) gun, and holding my bible, NOT fearing the foreigners from the UN.
