Swedish minister called Swedes blonde: has to apologise

Yes people, only in Sweden. Our minister of migration Tobias Billström sure did cause a major hurricane in a teacup when he said the most controversial thing. He's been called a racist, xenophobe, accused of dividing people, and his party's youth wing's chairwoman demanded his resignation. He's And yeah, he was officially (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)slapped, symbolically, by our prime minister, who's also of the same party. He was also close to severly screwing up the agreement on migration between his party and the greens, who favour free immigration by the way.

So what was the controversial statement then? Something along the lines of "it's not a blonde and blue eyed swedish lady in her fifties that are hiding illegal immigrants, it's most often their country men who do that, and they're not blonde at all".

Oh no he didn't! What the hell is this racist going on about, is he saying that arabs aren't typically blonde or what? What's up with this unnecessary dividing of people?! /sarcasm

This is the major news recently here in Sweden and that says quite a lot about us to be honest. It is often said that one sure indicator that a people has lost it's will to survive as a people is that it denies it's own existence.

 

I suppose that among people obsessed with racial purity, such rhetoric is common.

 

I used to follow thelocal.se , it is amazing how the stupidest of things make news in Sweden .

 

huh? are you saying that swedes are obsessed with it? I supposed it should be that I am, but I can't see what you're thinking of, I'm just reporting here. you didn't even quote my own views on it.

 

indeed. and how the silliest things are controversial.

 

I think he is referring to one of your posts from another thread, which makes sense to me why he thinks that way....

 

You certainly seem to be, given the typical nature of your threads.

 

Let me (as usual) be the first to speak on the actual issues being attempted for discussion.

First...occasionally there is a worker, an employee, who falls on his face, yet he's still a good employee, a great person. Often the truly bad employees come out and like to rub his mistakes in his and others' faces only for the benefit of themselves and without regard to the betterment of the country.

Remember... This story is not about Tobias Billström. No. The story is about Sweden. We must step back away from the person, but we must look at the wider picture and think of the good of the country. What we have here is a dear nationalist who needs help from an unfortunate mis-speak. (Similar to nearly everything said by Americans).

Now... I have understood the intention of Billström's narrative.

"We have a problem of illegal immigrants hoarding other illegal immigrants, and it is not a problem being caused by the typical Swedes".

 

Nice one you dug up there, but notice how it doesn't have anything to do with racial purity? hmm? What does me sharing my personal sexual, eh, opinions, that I don't find most africans attractive have to do with anything? And seriously, unless you're blinded by leftism and idiocity you'll see that blacks share some features, such as being black among other things, and hence that they have some specific characteristics. right? So all I'm saying is that I don't think the typical black characteristics are appealing.

typical nature of my threads? what are you referring to?

 

Doesn't surprise me that you think that way. Good luck.

 

should I be suprised? You accuse me of wanting racial purity, then bring up something unreleated, and when I point that out you just avoid it? well well well

 

Good point. Oh... That was my post.

 

I don't find Americans attractive.



I don't think Lord Billström was talking about blond-hair, blue eyes directly, but I believe he was using it as a way to describe a native Swede.

Look... The American above has blonde-hair blue eyes, and they are not Swedish. So it's not the eyes or hair that make the person attractive, but the Swedishness. No doubt, I'm certain the American would hoard illegal immigrants in his (her??) basement, if only for a source of food.

 

Okay I think you are missing the point. Countries and governments deal with issues that most concern them. Example, enough food, fighting wars welfare of the people etc etc. When a nation can have major news issue over something like this, then Sweden can be very proud as a nation, they have nothing better to get upset about

 

we're also debating wheter ILLEGAL immigrants should have a right to school up 'til the gymnasium (which I don't know what the english equivalent is but you're 19-20 years when you finish it), free healthcare, and wheter the police should actually be allowed to search for them. As of now the have access to schools and a bill will come into effect giving them healthcare soon, and there are major protest when police try to arrest them. And these are people that actually got their asylum request DENIED by the most liberal, immigration-wise, country in the world, and yet they get access to our whole welfare system. Either Sweden's perfect or we're seriously (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up and deep in our arses. I think the latter.

 

Well, I can agree that having certain preferences attraction-wise doesn't make you a racist.

However, I've seen some of the posts that SG has written that are about racial purity.

That being said, I have to admit that I'd probably be more conservative about race relations if I lived in a country as liberal as Sweden.

In America, we tend to be more conservative about immigration, except with respect to cheap labor, so in a way, it kind of shows you where most of the support for open immigration comes from.

It's not really about increasing diversity or cultural tolerance -- it's about letting in people that work for less than locals do.

 

arw their countrymen not swedes?

 

Leave Sweden to the Swedes. They have every right to maintain a homogeneous society.

 

feel free to link us to the fact that that's what the country has decided to do

 

If your blonde-haired blue-eyed countrymen hadn't stopped having kids, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.

 

That would depend tho, i dont care about the dna stuff just the physical appearance and even there theres room for quite some variation. Does it count if i just prefer a world in which different phenotypes exist? Does it count if i include phenotype as a component of what makes up an ethnicity? But he didnt even quote that, just some other unreleated stuff.

I think our history of always having been homogenous would also weigh in your thoughts were you a swede

 

I guess I'm different from most people, including Americans, in that I don't define myself by a given culture as much as I do as an individual.

Yes, I share many things in common with most Americans, but ultimately, who I am is defined on my own terms and by my own actions.

I don't particularly care if a lot of people who look different from me enter my country. All I care is if they respect the local laws and contribute to the economy.

 

What do you think controls physical appearance???

If you were talking about what woman you were attracted or not attracted to, why mention males in your post also?
