Oh, yes. The Guardian ran with that despite not being able to cite a single decent example of racism against Swedes. As you say, the best I could see was clearly some harmless workplace joke.Quote:

From my teenage years I seem to recall that their women were all said to be raving nymphos. Perhaps that counts. "Bloody Swedes, coming over here with your heightened libidos, performing kinky acts of sexual gratification upon our grateful menfolk!"Quote:

Bear in mind that, to the Guardian, synonyms are commonplace in the English language.Quote:

Thank you, sc.
I knew there would be an expert in the house :thumbup:
You're correct. However, I would argue that xenophobia towards a single race or people amounts to the same accusation.Quote:

It's remarkable for a people to look at a word like 'xenophobia' and think 'Nah! That's too short and easy to spell and say. Let's call it something else.'Quote:
