I also find it really funny because Sweden, Denmark, and Finland are not only very homogeneous, but very racist. It's very difficult to go against what is considered "normal" (IE: groupthink).

Oh, lovely, we’re very racist, are we? Compared to what, USA? I hear the same anti-muslim, anti-mosque rants from Americans that I hear from fellow Swedes. You complain about illegal immigrants, we complain Eastern-Europeans, ”They’re here to take our jobs”. We complain about paying for refugees and asylum-seekers, you complain about... I don’t know, do you have that issue?

They don't really, as Sweden alone has taken e.g. more Iraqi refugees than the USA.

FYI: muslin isn't a race.

I'm glad we agree that it's not the paradise that so leftists claim it to be.

Oh, I know, it’s a fabric.

So you really didn’t have a point, did you? Just wanted to blurt out a few insults?
