20+ girls molested in Cologne-style attacks at Swedish rock fest

31. It's a totally different dynamic here due the unified stance of all the political parties in the

Riksdag (our parliament, its unicameral) but one (the far right Sverigedemokraterna aka SD aka Sweden Democrats) on pro immigration. Also, in Sweden, the main type of immigration is refugees from the US/UK/NATO empiric war zones, the second highest type is Roma and other extremely poor Eastern Europeans who end up homeless here and also are abused by dodgy under the table jobs. This FEEDS the racists and keeps growing SD.

SD, the right wing, is basically a one issue party, and they are surging because all the others refuse to deal or even really talk about it with it. In the last 2 years, last year, over the highest rolling 12 month period, when adjusted for population of Sweden versus America, we took in the USA equivalent of around 7 million war refugees. The government has dumped them all over the county now, many smaller areas are really overwhelmed.

I do NOT want to sound xenophobic at all, I am an immigrant here, my partner is Afro Caribbean/Swedish but born and raised in London. I have lived in 8 countries, visited 94, I adore diversity and practice it in my own personal life more than probably 95% of people anywhere. But the system here is broken. A huge problem is that youth unemployment amongst newer refugees is over 50%. Crime has dramatically increased here in the last 15 years of so. Rape is up around 600% over the last decade (partially to do with the fact that we in 2005 rewrote our rape laws to be the most expansive by far in the world, but also partially to do with the influx of refugees from violent war torn backgrounds and violent misogynistic brutal cultures). Sweden does not keep any racial stats, and the press never reports ethnicity, but the few studies (and massive stories on private blogs and alternative news sites) that have been done show a not so pretty picture. Norway does keep stats and and for Oslo they found about 70% of rapes were by immigrants in 2010-11. http://www.unhcr.no/Pdf/Baltic_nordic_HL_2011/May_2011.pdf Norway has a lower percentage on non natives than Sweden too. Malmö (where Zlatan is from, lol) Sweden is the biggest majority minority city in the entire EU now.



I feel "dirty" even writing about it. The pressure here is intense to just bow your cap and ignore ignore. Sweden did an insanely GOOD job for decades bringing in refugees from all over the world (basically follow a CIA coup map and that's who we got). Iranians, Chileans and many other South Americans, Balkans, etc etc.

All have SO wonderfully been integrated into Swedish society. They have climbed up the ladder socioeconomically, politically, culturally and its breathtaking how it all worked.

But they came in relatively small numbers (we are still under 10 million people even now) and over decades. Ever since fucking Bush and the Iraq War, then moving onto Libya, Syria, etc, we have been just flooded. Södertalje, a smaller city just south of Stockholm, in 2005-6, took in more Iraqi refugees than the ENTIRE US did over the same time.

I hope we can sort ourselves.
