The article that upper, superior, caste Mr Sieg Heil Din wrote:

I couldn’t be whiter nor look more Swedish. I went to visit my ancestral area in Sweden and they were rude to us, too.
Now... in order to be more Swedish, I’m rude to everyone.
I grew up in a Norwegion area - the author is spot-on. Even when visiting lifelong neighbors or friends, the intent was that if no one answered the door on the second knock; you quietly left. The assumption was that your friend was either sleeping, entertaining someone, or wanted to be left alone.
So, if you were not doing anything - feel free to stop by; but don't expect automatically that just because your friend is home, that he wants to be bothered. Now, if you had previously made plans - that is another matter.
I think the Swedes are on to something here. I am nice and I try to be polite everywhere I go, but I generaly like to be left alone.
Greta Garbo was Swedish. The famous quote attributed to her that “I want to be alone” was really a misquote. Her actual statement was “I want to be left alone”.
Seems she reflected her culture pretty accurately... /g
Sorry, forgot to include you in post #7.
That the Swedes refused to speak Punjabi to Mr. Din was obviously motivated by racism. He could have told them many interesting stories about his grandfather Gunga.
Many people have remarked on “the cold attitude”, and let me tell you I’ve never met a Swede or Sa’ami who struck me as cold ~ and it’s none of your business why I might feel that way.
My great-grandfather emigrated from Sweden. I got a chance to visit his town in Sweden. The people were cold and seemed unfriendly.
It was a great disappointment. I only report, you decide.
I only want to hear about that last fight!
That sounds so midwestern, specifically Nebraskan, Iowan, South and North Dakotan and Minnesotan. Wonder why.
In a gesture of diplomatic interrelations, Lazamataz invited each and every member of the Swedish Bikini Team over to see his vast Beer collection (he even has Billy Beer), and you know what?
They ALL turned him down. How Rude was that?
And if you don't believe this really happened, remember, you just read it on the inter-Webs!
I never found Swedes to be rude, just rather shy and quite introverted. I found the Norwegians to be much more shy and introverted. I rode on a train once from Oslo to Bergen and it was rare to see someone speak the whole trip.
What about Din’s “racism?” Or is “racism” only from whites?
Sounds like Mr. Din does not like those whitey Swedes. He can always travel to brown Pakistan where he doesn’t have to put up with foreigners (whitey).
He’s been in Britian and knows whitey’s place. He found a native white culture in Europe not properly shamed, cowed and cleansed.
Whites must develop the habit of getting back in the race baiter’s face and suggesting he has racist problems within himself and his tribe to take care of before he takes on the problems of the foreigners.
Suhail Din is a Muslim name. And if he is a Punjabi then most definitely he is from Pakistan. During partition Punjabi Muslims moved over to Western Punjab(Pakistan) and Hindus and Sikhs moved over to Eastern Punjab (India). Besides, Sweden had a large Pakistani migrant population and comparatively a very small Indian population. I will hazard a guess this guys is a Pakistani. And young Pakistani guys have been causing a lot of trouble for Swedish girls.
It’s not racism, it’s jantelaw. Nordic people treat other non-familiar Nordic people like outsiders because of the tradition of jantelaw. He just happened to be an outsider whose skin was brown.
It’s also very common to see it in outstate Minnesota.
