Good point.

Compared to the rest of the World, Sweden is too liberal/friendly to outsiders.

It likely wouldn't, mostly because it's so unusual you'd be met with more surprise than hostility. A lot of black girls are down for the swirl depending on the guy, in my experience.

Quit worrying, most people in the world are respectful and tolerant... a couple swedish dudes ranting about muslims and gypsys on the internet doesnt mean it is a racist country.

They're not a racist country, but immigrants sure are causing too much trouble there. So many rapes and murders.

And they're letting too many people in. Israel for example dumped all their african refugees in Sweden with the Swedish government's permission because they don't want multiculturalism. You can't blame the native people for being upset.

Anyway, I was hoping to one day visit Sweden for a summer (to explore, date and have a good time) in a year or two when I'm 21 or 22 (currently 19). However, now I don't think it's a such a good idea, considering I don't know how I'd be treated (I'm African American).

Also, how are African Americans perceived in other Scandinavian countries, particularly Norway?

Side question: It's pretty common to see interracial dating here in the US between blacks, whites, and many other races; is it frowned upon those countries?

Thanks for any answers!
Americans, especially African Americans, are scared into not going to certain European countries because of their 95%+ white population. You won't have any race issues in Norway/Sweden. If anything, they are more racially tolerant than the US by a mile. To top it off, racial profiling is basically non-existent, unlike in the US. All nordic countries strongly believe in equality of literally everything, race, religion, income, status, achievement, sex.. literally everything so you can imagine how much race will make a difference to how they treat you (none). the only people they frown upon are people that brag about themselves, show off. Swedish/Norwegian chicks won't be as impressed by your American nationality as chicks would in other European countries.

Swedes do not like to talk to strangers unlike most Americans where it is common to smile, wave hands when you walk and a car passing by in the area, keep doors open, say "thank you" this and that. Indeed, most Europeans are like the Swedes. For example in Sweden and most of Europe, it is rare talking to the person next to you while waiting in line (queue) or sitting next to the person on the bus/train/chair/bench.

I read a few other things too.
So, they have awkward hugs in the morning, go on dull dates, talk with their mouth full and complain about the weather..........
Now, please explain what was racist in this video? Cos i watched it twice and couldn't find any racist comment.

Oooh wait, it's a racist black guy, making fun of swedish culture

Is the low-cut T-shirt on the guy a Swedish thing, or is that the fashion for men in other parts of Europe as well?

No. It looks like he's wearing a woman's shirt, almost.
