most seem fine, in my experience. But there's a substantial extremist minority that cause problems. Saw a woman in a burqa a few weeks ago; weird and not human looking. Tried not to stare. Oddly, in the group she was in [I think they were Pakistani?] another woman didn't even cover her hair.

The highest share of the votes for the Sweden Democrats is in an urban district next doors to one infamous ghetto in Malmö so it does make sense to a point. Among white, inner-city working class voters that's certainly the case, if there are any left. It was the highest in the country in Almgården in 2010, but was surprised by some polling stations in 2014, but here are the 2014 results from Almgården:

http://www.val.se/val/val2014/slutre...912/index.html

As seen the red party (Social Democrats) and the nationalist grey-blue marker for the Sweden Democrats completely dominate in a poor Swede/European descent-dominated area there. In Sjöbo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sj%C3%...pality#Riksdag) they got 30 % in the national election and if they get more than 50 % in a local one in 2018 I'll strongly consider moving to the deep south 12.86 % nationwide as reference!

Sjöbo 30.0 %
Bromölla 28.4 %
Hörby 27.4 %
Örkelljunga 26.6 %
Svalöv 26.4 %
Östra Göinge 26.0 %
Svalöv 25.7 %
Klippan 25.6 %
Tomelilla 25.5 %
Osby 25.4 %
Perstorp 25.3 %
Skurup 25.1 %
Sölvesborg 25.0 %
Åstorp 24.5 %
Svedala 24.1 %

All of those locations are in the deep south and in rural areas and all their election results look beautiful

The main anti-immigration sentiments will be found in southern rural areas though that are near to the Malmö hellhole and therefore has a proximity bias while at the same time being rural conservatives.

yea, but I assume the non-immigrant population is a bit more pro-immigration? At least, the most anti-immigration ones would have left...

I find it creepy. My reaction would be the same if I saw someone wearing KKK garb or a ski mask.

You're probably right. Many of the most conservative parts of the country are the areas surrounding London.

I think there's a similar pattern in the US? As ethnic minorities increase within a city, whites relocate to the suburbs or rural areas around the city.

Yea, though it's hard to separate cause and effect. Like for NYC, whites were leaving fast in the 70s as the city was declining but immigration was higher later. At least as the city recovered, immigration did it a lot of good — someone needed to move back to the city and give it a chance. Other difference is the ethnic minorities were partially blacks from the rural south rather than foreigners; and judging by patterns, inspired more white flight than immigrants.

Same here. The True Finns does the best in rural locations where 99.5% of the inhabitants are ethnic Finns, and most poorly in Helsinki, Espoo and Turku, where the immigrant % is the highest.

I watched a documentary on inner city violence in the US, and I'm led to believe that a lot of the "white flight" took place when segregation came to an end, and African-Americans began to enter the cities in large numbers. Especially in places like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Atlanta, etc. Where people were driven to the strong industrial opportunities on offer.
