GP isn't denying they have more immigrants, they are saying it makes more sense to point to their reaction to the pandemic than to point at their number of immigrants. This explanation is both more simple and it doesn't have strange racist undertones.

Pointing out an observation in relation biology and vitamin d production, even if totally incorrect, does not mean it's racist. If anything, if someone with darker skin living in Sweden would get their vitamin d levels checked and correct it because the comment above, it would help them.

> Sweden has much more of an immigrant / foreign-born parent population.

This was said in response to the statement that Sweden has 10x more deaths than Norway.
