Academics: Swedish Proposal to Break Up Migrant Ghettos Is ‘State Racism’

T. Belman. Europe is reaping what it has sown. While it is natural for immigrants to live in ethnic ghettos, such ghettos are ungovernable. Both Sweden and Denmark are attempting to prevent the immigrant dominance in these ghettos to 30%.  Good luck with that.

The arguments put forward by the academics (leftists) make no sense at all. But the reality is that their societies are self segregating and the countries do not see this as a good thing.

Swedish academics have denounced a proposal by a government minister to limit the number of non-Scandinavian residents in neighbourhoods as “state racism.”

Ten academics largely comprised of professors from various Swedish universities slammed the proposal made by Minister for Integration Anders Ygeman, who said he would support a policy to limit the number of non-Scandinavian or “non-Nordic” residents in areas so they did not become a majority.

“The proposal is difficult to take seriously, but at the same time frightening. It brings to mind the apartheid system and state racism that would cement and legitimise ethnic divisions instead of fighting them,” the experts said in an opinion article for the newspaper Expressen.

The experts added that the policy of separating people into “Nordic” and “non-Nordic” would reinforce segregation, rather than combat it.

“It is difficult to see how anyone can believe that such a division of the population can be conducive to integration. In fact, it is clear that it rather increases and deepens segregation and distances between people,” the experts said.

The academics went on to claim that the reasoning of Ygeman’s proposal was ”absurd” and argued that a successful integration process in Sweden would involve “a mutual, common society building where Swedes of different ethnic origins meet on equal terms and are treated as equals.”

“Integration presupposes a society where no one is considered more or less ‘Swedish’ or ‘Nordic’ than anyone else because of their ethnicity or skin colour, Where identities are allowed to be complex, mixed and self-chosen, not imposed from outside. Especially not based on some state ethnic record that brings to mind state racism,” they lectured.

Minister Ygeman made his comments earlier this month, saying: “I think it’s bad to have areas where the majority are of non-Nordic origin.”

His comments were subsequently supported by Swedish prime minister Magdalena Andersson, who said the idea of limiting the number of non-Scandinavian residents could facilitate integration efforts.

“[E]veryone who lives in Sweden [should] also [feel] that they are part of Sweden, sees their parents go to work. This is how we can also ensure that young people are not drawn into crime,” Andersson said.

The idea of reducing or limiting the number of migrants in neighbourhoods and areas was originally proposed in Denmark last year, with the government calling for limits to the number of non-Western residents in areas to no more than 30 per cent.

  1. The Swedes are naive. 30% is far too much. 3% is just about the maximum. The rest should be helped back to where they came from, by economic incentives: the carrot and the stick. NO economic support in Sweden = no social security, no welfare, no health benefits, LOTS of economic support in deportation and resettlement in their countries of origin.
    This policy will, of course, have a response of civil commotion, a great increase in crime, which will need adequate physical means [= police] to handle. To prepare for this, two things are necessary: 1) adaptation of laws to support violent action of the police in anticipation of uprisings, and defending hte police from legal action against it 2) making civil uprisings a capital crime and limiting the possibility of legal defense.
