I don't think it is racism as much as it is survival. Southerners are a lot more racist than Nordic folks.

They cannot let in so many people it upsets their society.

When you are a small educated country if you let unlimited numbers of people from third world countries where they are uneducated, they can cause a lot of trouble for the society.

In many third world countries these day the kids and their parents barely talk.

Racism and classism are powerful in the Nordic countries. We have NIMBY neighborhoods, those are NIMBY countries.

There is a reason that many Northern Europeans migrated to the US in the 19th and 20th centuries.

It's a lot easier to implement mass education programs in relatively homogeneous first world societies.

I respect that we have to keep trying here.
