    If ever you wanted an example of the retarded definition

    of racism in Sweden, look no further than one of todays headlines.

    "Rasism mot svenskar i London efter brexit" which translates to "Racism against swedes in London after brexit".

    This because some woman claimed swedes have been told to "go home".

    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.

    Racist against Swedes, ffs! The idea itself is fairly hilarious when you think about it.

    I wouldn't know where to begin being racist to a Swede, would you? Does pointing out that they're rather boring count as racism, because that's about all I can come up with.

    Nothing wrong with pickled herring, imo. If one is a drunkard or has merely supped late with the lads the night before, wash them down with a bot or two of Sekt and you've probably got yourself a restorative
    pick-me-up to rival Jeeves'.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    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!"

    That sort of thing.

    Except the Guardian piece doesn't mention racism but xenophobia (if we are talking about the same article). There is a difference, b. Johnny Foreigner might not have the vocabulary to differentiate, but we do

    Oh I'm a great fan of the herring in all its forms, r. Pickled, fried in porridge or, best of all, raw in the Netherlands fashion.

    were the old Color Climax porn mags and films Swedish?

    might have been Danish come to think of it...

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

    Xenophobia = racism = fascism = Nazism = Farage
