Can you be worried about overcrowding, stretching of resources, lack of jobs etc, without being racist?   Or should people always be for it, without raising concerns?

It certainly doesn't make you a racist. Racism is about something else.

But if you want to know what a racist is like, read Lit's posts.

Sweden's third largest city being enriched on this very day. You don't have to understand Swedish, just play the movies.

Well its not racist to be against a culture, or a religion.

No, but that is not what Lit is doing:

Quote
racism
     n 1: the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically
          superior to members of other races
     2: discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of
        another race [syn: racialism, racial discrimination]

I'd say both apply.

Depends how you define race - would a certain race having a predisposition to a certain culture or religion and discriminating against those cultures or religions be racist?

You're being irrelevant, as usual.

Race is a boring concept - they're all human, just in different flavours. That said, I normally dislike humans. :zoinks:

Yes. Why?

When? Where in Sweden? I have heard and seen them attacking cops but never firemen and ambulance people.

Most humans are disgusting, though Muslims are more disgusting than the average human.

I guess "BRAVE" swedes like lit can be tasty if you put 'em over the barbecue, marinated in spicy sauce. Yum.
