Saw an interesting comment in Swedish on my Racist Sweden video. The complaint was that the Latino Rapper Dogge was “preaching” how each group sticks together, the Latinos, the Syrians, The Turks etc... BUT when the Swedes stick together it’s called RASISM.
This is interesting because it reminds me of an important aspect of why I made the film.
What the Swedes don’t realize is that they DO indeed stick together AGAINST the intrusion of any of all these foreign elements into the attractive levels of society.
So what do you do if you are a well meaning politician in a society where someone has been trained as a cartographer but has to work as a taxi driver because he has an accent hammered out in one of the mixed culture suburbs where hardly ever a Swedish teacher sets his/her foot, (This was an actual person that I encountered but didn’t make it into the final edit) not to mention the problem of having a typical Hispanic name.
The well meaning politician will maybe form a committee that will focus on demanding equality for our taxi driver and others in his position. BUT what he will neglect to do is to study what opposition he has in demanding the change.
I made this documentary so that people could see for themselves what level of confusion, misunderstanding and endemic tendencies of aggressive response are entangled in this subject. If you don’t learn to observe this, everybody will continue running around in the dark accusing and attacking each other. Who will benefit from that?
