Often? Not really. Only two of the threads you linked to were started by Swedes:

The country I loved is dead
Sweden grows, but Swedes Shrink

And I am not Swedish. In fact, I think only Anders_Karlsson is ethnic Swede in this thread.

Nope only two threads were clearly started by Swedes,for the rest the origin of the OP was ambiguous.

I think it unlikely the average American from say the midwest cares much about Sweden, let alone even knows where it is, so they were probably raised by Swedes.

Even two is one too many

Like me saying to a judge, I know I stabbed him your honour, but I only stabbed him twice!!

It is not ambiguous at all. If you read the threads you posted, you would see the authors say they are not Swedish later on in the respective threads.

'Socialist Sweden' is and has always been an integrated part of the American presidential election used as an scare example by the Republican Party, so yeah, Americans probably do know where Sweden is, or at least they are familiar with it.

Also, the author of this particular thread is from the U.S. as far as I can ascertain, and multiple posters from the threads you linked are American. Americans care, evidently.

Sure, two racists threads are too much, but trawling city-data for threads where you can smear the entire Swedish population says a lot about you yourself. Maybe you are the racist? I mean all the examples of backward racists populations you have presented so far are predominantly white:

The entire Nordic region, The Netherlands, France, rural England and now Midwestern America.

Yeah, right. One of those are banned, the other one hasn't posted since joining. Certainly "Swedish". Just get used to that 50% of people posting here are trolls, usually American. Don't listen to anyone under 1000 posts.

You are right, I won't get so easily troll-baited in the future.

Ok, you're probably quite familiar with Sweden, right? This poster nograviti claimed that he experienced a teacher in Sweden who called a black pupil a monkey. I know Sweden very well, and this would create such a massive sh*tstorm of galactic proportions so it would fly also to Finland and Denmark. It would mean the end of the career of that teacher. Don't you agree? Not to mention legal actions. 90% of Swedish reporters would create a lynch mob and would do anything to get this teacher, just like the tabloids hunt down SD commentators online.

But this nograviti, who claims that he's lived in Sweden just say it was another day at the office. No biggie. Do you buy it? I don't. Do you buy it that nograviti, being black would be a target for xenophobic attacks like "you're adept for a black person" at the office, which is an unfathomable comment and I've never heard anything like that. That is probably a legit reason for a severe warning or even contract termination in Sweden. And hopefully it is in Denmark too. It is in Finland. Anyway, it would create another sh*tstorm, and 90% of the media would absolutely destroy this person in question.

Trolls, trolls everywhere.

I have witnessed maybe 3-4 racist attacks in my life, and they all have been silenced by vigilantes or common condemnation. Some people might be reluctant to act, but there's always someone. Like me.

Then there are those Julia90's, who... well, I won't say anything.

I find it hard to believe Germany is on par with Britain and the Netherlands in terms of race relations.

I guess I'll only know if I live in each country for a sizeable amount of time.
