'Go back to Africa': reports of racism hit record high in Switzerland
The Local Switzerland ^ | April 9, 2018

Posted on 04/09/2018 12:37:02 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

A bus driver refuses to take a group of young asylum seekers to their destination. When they ask him why, he tells them they can walk, and that they don’t have any rights in Switzerland. "Go back to Africa," he says next. This is just one of the incidents described into a new report on racism in Switzerland.

In another example, the manager of a public swimming pool turns off hot water at the facility so that “dark-skinned” people can’t shower. Internal guidelines at the baths “warn” that migrants only come to the pool to shower and cause problems.

Both of the above incidents come from the report which examines racists incidents reported to a network of 27 bureaus assisting victims of racism across Switzerland.

The report, published jointly by the Federal Commission against Racism (FCR) and Swiss human rights portal humanrights.ch shows the number of racist incidents reported last year in Switzerland was a record high 301. That’s compared to 199 a year earlier and well above the previous peak in the last ten years of 249.

Commenting on the high figure last year, report co-author David Mühlemann noted that most racist incidents never go reported.

He also said the 2017 rise could possibly be due to greater awareness among people affected by racism or better access to advice bureaus.

Sounds like California where Gov. Moonbeam is releasing criminals from prisons. Crime is UP!

Leftists here and in Europe who have been severely indoctrinated to believe that “diversity” and “globalism” absolutely must be foisted on the entire population of the planet.

Then why don't you see them standing up for whites in South Africa, or demanding that Muslim countries be more tolerant towards Christians?

Indeed. Thanks. Just noting to buffyt that while the majority of the population are Germanic-speaking, they are very different from Germany and/or the other nationalities surrounding them.

Because while their goals are totalitarian, and anti-white, and anti-Christian, their program of mass indoctrination is designed to convince the sheeple that the struggle is for a utopian society characterized by the acceptance of all people, all points of view, and all lifestyles. That, in a nutshell, is the colossal deception of Leftist ideology.

California is also nuts, and I think many of them are beginning to move to Texas so those fun festivals may soon begin to get UGLY!
