From Uffe in Stockholm: "An
ambulance in Sweden refused to take a injured 16 year old refugee to the
hospital.
The 16 year old had been denied residence to stay in Sweden. In a desperate move he threatened to jump from the 6:th floor. Police tried to talk him out of it.
Meanwhile personnel from the ambulance said: "Let him jump, he is only a refugee."
This shocked the police and others. Even worse, after he had jumped, the ambulance refused to take him to the hospital. The police had to take him to the hospital.
In Sweden racist bullshit appears more and more frequently as Sverigedemokraterna (The swedish democrats. A racist party with, believe it or not, a nazibackground) gets bigger and bigger in the polls. Its now the third biggest party.
The fascinating thing about that party is that it recently have had a big number of members involved in different kind of scandals, regarding racism, crime, sexism, nazibackgrounds and violence. But it doesnt effect them at all in the polls. Quite the opposite. Its the party of the Lernaean Hydra. But isnt that why racism is so hard to fight? Its not about rational arguments, facts or empathy. Its about fear and hatred.
But racism doesnt stop there.
The swedish minister of migration, member of the conservative party, is in deep shit as he in an interview, which he hade time to prepare for, said that: "People that hide refugees are not nice blond and blueyed old ladies but rather fellow countryman that are not blond."
On the other hand: One could say that it is a good sign that he is in deep shit for saying a stupid thing like that. And back to that first hand again: that means it can get even worse."
