After the recent attack in a Swedish school by Anton Lundin Pettersson, aged 21. It has now been established that the attacker had right wing sympathies.
I have raised the issue of Racism and discrimination in Sweden before only to be told I was wrong. Despite having lived in Sweden for two years and having a Scandinavian partner. I eventually left due to the discrimination I experienced (I run a software company in London and I worked as a Java developer in Stockholm)
Given the rise of right wing former neo-nazi parties like SD and frequent outbreaks of racist violence in Sweden, isn't it time to put to rest the idea that Sweden is a racial utopia (devoid of ugly racism). At best Sweden is no better than countries like Germany with regards to racism/integration and in my opinion is far behind nations like Britain and Ireland on this issue.
Sweden has always been pack with loonies, the fact that the nutcase dressed like some Star War character and was attracted by nazi webs is quite common, as it can be appreciated in some forums.

Britain is no better than the rest of Europe in terms of race-relations, despite what the British say. In many areas it is worst than France or Germany.
In the meantime could a mod please close this thread. As it is unnecessary duplication
