It's because about 7-10% of Sweden's population is Immigrants, and because of that Sweden is a "Multicultural" country.

At the end, we give Swedes over 15 Billion SEK's to legal immigrants every year, which is ridiculous, when we could use that money to help it with sanctions and similar stuff where it's needed.

But, our current Social Democratic government wont do that because that is what the Swedish Democratic Party wants to do, to reduce immigration to Sweden.

The Swedish Democratic Party is often called racist because of that, among other things, and if the Social Democrats would do the same the would be called 'racists' for decades to come.

Everything in this country is waaaay to politically correct, and if you say one thing about immigration you will be classed as a racist.

The political correctness in this country is just dumb. You cannot really have no other opinion then let all the immigrants in unless you want to be called a racist.

And some schools here has even forbidden to sing psalms at the graduations, because some immigrants can be offended. Same with birds.

I bet in 10 years that we cannot even call "Koltrast" (Common Blackbird) that because well, kol=Coal=black=racist.

And no, I am not a racist, I just think we should be allowed to say what we want.

tl;dr: Stupid scared political correct country. Urgh.

Sounds just like the United States. Hopefully something is both can overcome and move past. The way things are going here, doesn't look to be going away any time soon. Thanks for the insight! :D

And thus, people ignored birds once again 

Ugh, we tend to do that quite often, we even removed one of the clips from our annual christmas Donald Duck TV show, disgraceful.

Shame, really. Well, my offer still stands if you need some fresh air :D

We used to call 'em Negerboll which kinda stands for "niggerball", but now we say Kokosboll (coconutball ?) instead for obvious reasons.

EDIT: Or maybe chokladboll (chocolate ball) as well...

Now I think of a coconut and I think of it being hard. Are those hard or are they soft?

There is some chewing resistance but they're not too hard either.

"Oh no you don't" Hah.

Haha, aah. In my family we still sometimes call them negerbollar, like back in the day. A word is only racist if you want it to be.

But about the flag thing, yeah, it has been banned in some schools here. People say that it is offensive to all of the immigrants in the school.

The Swedish flag is the symbol of our nation, not a sign saying "Go back to where you came from!"

Sweden is too politically correct, and I'm sick of it.

Liberals...

This is a first for me...

Liberals...

What do you expect dude. Liberals will be Liberals. It's unfortunate but it is what it is I guess.

The big question is: are any African-Swedish people actually offended? Or is the govt just doing this to scream "LOOK AT HOW PROGRESSIVE WE ARE!"
