(27,630 posts)Swedes are less racist than most cultures, and are not judgmental about race or skin color. Swedes have an expectation, however, that you have to fit in to the culture "anpassa sig". This seems to be more crucial than speaking good swedish.
For instance, setting fire to cars and throwing rocks at police and firefighters who are trying to do their job is viewed as worse behavior than animals in a zoo. Not kidding. Swedes are non-confrontational people.
Muslims rioting in Paris was bad, but French people are more expressive in nature compared to Swedish people. This is only going to get uglier, and it's going to result in muslims facing even worse discrimination. That's very sad for all the law-abiding middle eastern people who are trying to fit in in Sweden.
