Sweden riots spread beyond Stockholm – “The whole policy of immigration and integration is being questioned”
Nice of them to finally notice. More here.
And here…
The media in Sweden sometimes report on studies in which researchers submit several job applications, some with names that sound Swedish, and some with more foreign-sounding names. Applicants with “Swedish” names are more likely to get called to an interview, something journalists interpret as meaning that immigrants in Sweden have little chance of finding employment.
Young immigrants, particularly those living in economic and social exclusion, get the impression that they might as well give up the idea of succeeding in the Swedish labour market. Journalists communicate this message with the hope that it will sound alarm bells that lead to efforts to reduce discrimination and racism. But it would be much more constructive if the journalists themselves better understood how discrimination works, and instead put forward a more nuanced perspective.
Heh. “They’re not riots, they’re diversity bonfires.”
