If ever you wanted an example of the retarded definition

[Billy Goat Sverige]

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. :hehe:

Watch out bgm, there might be a backlash against Brits in Sweden, you might get threatened with a pickled herring fillet.

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. :shrug:

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'.

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

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

Swedish, Danish, Icelandish, Norwayish. They all píss in the same pot, i. In many cases quite literally.

oh, you can't beat a bit of jingoism to keep the Guardian readers wetting themselves...

Thank you, sc.

You're correct. However, I would argue that xenophobia towards a single race or people amounts to the same accusation.

And you must concede that they still couldn't come up with a single solid example to back up this rather insulting claim.

främlingsfientlighet = xenophobia in swedish.

In the article in the swedish paper they say "and life on the british isles has changed markedly recently with xenophobia and racism - even towards swedes".

Polly Toynbee called May 'The true heir of Enoch Powell' :hehe: I think she must be having one of her hot flushes.

But they have gone to the effort of spelling it right and everything, sir c - they deserve some credit

Right. We're obviously a terrible lot. Any mention in that newspaper of the gangs of Somalians intent on raping their womenfolk?

[Sir C]

I'm going to break the habit of a lifetime now and use a terrible about a woman, something I have never done before.

Here we go. :clearsthroat:

Polly Toynbee is the sourest old **** ever shat forth from a 'woman'.

There. I have that off my chest.

Ugh. This is the sort of filthy foreign practice that I hope we can distance ourselves from post Brexit.

Any questions about Scandinavian urine-based pornography of the 1970s, I'm yer man.

Aftonbladet is a tabloid over here but it's basically the guardian in terms of its viewpoints.

There is nothing foreign about the nieuwe haring, b.

:hehe: Yes - it is a piss poor effort as have been the other scare stories about people people being thrown out or not being able to claim a passport. Generally down to people jumping the gun and the Home Office/Passport office not having a clue what is going on

I was about to say even German doesn't have a word as stupid as that and then looked up what it is here.

Fremdenfeindlichkeit - very similar

To be fair you can see why they might want to use "racism" in a headline instead :hehe:

Have you experienced such a thing over there?

A local chap near me was behaving like a **** the other week so I called him a ****. He said he didn't like my manners.

Cheeky *******.

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.'

Not a chance. Posh, drunk rosbifs are their worst nightmare.

But an Alsacien dared to criticised you - an English gentleman's - manners, r. Honour demands that you at the very least burn the ****'s house down imo.

There's no need to be vindictive. Enough that they are made aware that they cannot do that there here, as it were.

Not when I am around, at any rate.

Lots of xenophobia yes - mainly from my Irish friends towards any other nation though
