Yeah when I visited Stockholm I thought people dressed fine. I also thought men there were generally good-looking, though they could be tourists too.

some 90+% of American consumers shop at Walmart in a year, over 40% in a given week, so if that’s your perception of Walmart shoppers, that should be your perception of Americans in general.

I will be back the area next month, I will see if they wear shorts after summer. Good in Taiwan, that we can wear shorts all year with the weather and relaxed dress standards (at least to me, some tell me Taiwan has nice local dress)

All the Scandinavian countries are on this route. In the last elections in Sweden just a few weeks ago the nationalistic party had another major win. They’ve been kept out of the main stream politics by other parties for years but its not possible anymore as they are getting over 20% of the vote. This means the policies with allowing foreigners into Sweden is getting some radical changes.
What she is calling racist is called “Asian culture” here. Has she not visited her mother’s land yet? Or is it only racist when their skin shade is light?
Btw not defending Swedes but how is she going to bitch about Sweden when her mother’s culture is the SAME.

Xenophobia will rise everywhere with economic and social uncertainty and fear of immigration waves caused by war and climate change. Sad that the countries with arguably the most advanced social systems can fall victim to populism and extremism like everyone else.

Frankly, Sweden needed me more than I needed it. The company that generously relocated me from US actually recruited me for over half a year and practically begged me to relocate here because they were unable to find anyone qualified enough in all of Sweden to do my job.
Somebody thinks they are more important than they are.
