In reply to the discussion: Meet the Swedish heroes, the grad students who tackled the Stanford rapist [View all]Quantess
(27,630 posts)A co-worker of mine is a Christian immigrant (10 years ago) from Lebanon, and she's worried about the huge influx of Muslims.
There already have been protests in the streets, in Sweden, between different immigrant ethnic populations from the middle east and north Africa.
The naiveté of the swedes, thinking that immigrants from wildly different cultures and with languages completely unrelated to swedish would be motivated to assimilate quickly and easily, because they just LOVE the swedish way of life! And will learn the swedish language quickly! (fat chance)
In many cases immigrants definitely add to the nation in a positive way, but unfortunately sweden's immigration policies are stupid in so many ways. The voters have had it, and are taking a sharp and sudden turn to RW nationalists, like much of the rest of europe.
Mostly, I want to kick this thread because of the gross, spoiled, entitled, rapist, Brock Turner who is too sad and victimized to eat his rib-eye steaks, after being caught and convicted of rape.
