I just did a “quick Google search” myself and found that Swedengate is some Reddit discussion about Swedish families not inviting their kid’s friends to dinner when they’re at their home. Not sure how that is a racist thing. Culturally strange? Sure. Indicative of Sweden being a racist country? Ehm no. And for what it’s worth, I’m Swedish, but I certainly wouldn’t do that.

Well of course I “denied it”. It’s simply not true. The country isn’t racist, as I explained. There are however racism in the country, like in every country on earth, between many ethnicities (Swedes, Somalians, Arabs, Bosnians… the list is long due to the diversity of the country).

What do you even base your claim on? What constitutes a racist country? If racism between people does, then I’d argue all countries are “racist countries”.

It’s nonsense.
