Kista

Kista is a small district in a borough in Stockholm, not a city. To say "...the city I stayed in white Europeans were very much in the minority." is utter horsesh!t.

Kista

Kista's not a city. It's a small district in Stockholm. So the city you were in was Stockholm.

According to the SCB (http://www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/), there was 320,902 people with a "foreign background" in Stockholm in 2018. That would include white Europeans from other countries.

There were 641,252 people with a "Swedish background"

So native Swedish people aren't in any way in the minority, let alone white Europeans.

Maybe the same brown people were walking past you multiple times?

They have the stupidest off licence rules in the world.

Here being Sweden? Or here being Ireland, with a pretend German plate passing you every minute in any decent traffic?

This is a complete non-story. It's right there in the OP:

Therefore, signs that are deemed inappropriate are rejected, for example if they contain political messages or offensive words

It's a political message so therefore isn't allowed in accordance with the existing rules. I'm not entirely sure why it warranted a thread of its own in that case.

Chris_Heilong · 09-09-2019 5:29pm

I remember watching a Tim Pool documentary when he was in Sweden and some guy put up on Facebook he thought Trump would make a good president, he was then contacted by his friends and family to remove the post incase he gets fired from his job, They certainly have issues over there.

In US I understand you cannot be driving around with POTUS, MAYOR etc, but this is a country on the other side of the world.

If US itself allowed a OBAMA 08 plate then for Sweden to reject a TRUMP plate is pure nonsense.

It’s their prerogative is what it is. They probably don’t want to police all the potential vandalism, petty theft and road rage that could result.

If by here you mean Ireland, you can't legally have personalised/customised plates

Muzzlims, wha?

'Triggered' is a word used to try shut down opinions. You can only disagree or be annoyed at certain things it seems. For example, you felt the need to shut him down because you didn't like what he said so you use 'triggered' to make him seem like he's over reacting. Seems like he 'triggered' you into action

Aww you went through the trouble of posting a pic of trigger from only fools and horses. How sweet of you. That determined I get your pointless point across. Nice try though. I’ll applaud your effort

Yep, of all the things to be outraged about, another country applying its standard regulations for custom car registration plates is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Sweden offers a lot of examples in many ways but control freakish and authoritarian they can be is overlooked.

This is just a very mild reminder of that.

A bit of fun

Romanian Police confiscate Swedish number plates with swear words against ruling party

The Romanian, who lives in Sweden and whose car is also registered in Sweden, recently became one of the main topics in local media and social media, after he entered the country with a car whose number plates display a text that reads as a swear against the Social Democratic Party (PSD).

Me going there won’t decrease the numbers of white Europeans, so don’t be worrying you’re little head about where I’ve been.

Why did you claim that in the city you stayed in “white Europeans were very much in the minority.” when that clearly isn’t the case? Did you not think you were going to be caught out? Does your world-view require lying to justify it to yourself or others?

But it’s not a simple mistake is it? It’s an attempt to present a certain position about race and immigration. But it turns out that there isn’t a factual basis for that position. That’s a pretty significant mistake, and one worth calling out. You’re getting very defensive about it, why is that?

The basement comment is interesting. Very few Irish houses have basements. I’ve never been in one. Do you spend a lot of time on American websites, engaging in their politics and rhetoric?

Some much, much more than others.

27% of Stockholmers are immigrants, or of non-Swedish background. Its estimated that Stockholm will hit a population of 3 million by 2045, largely due to migrants from Afghanistan and Syria.
A study conducted by Stockholm Regional Growth, Environment and Planning is right, the growth means Stockholm will need an additional 2,000 pre-'schools' within a decade, as well as much more housing.

Glasgow is of a very similar size (if not larger). It will have little abnormal population growth and likley remain 88% white and Scottish, 8% Asian and 2.5% black. It's considered 'not' to be ethnically diverse.
Somewhere like Belfast might remain largely unchanged, with only very slight or marginal ethnically diversity into 2035.

We have agreed that Kista isn’t a city, so not sure what you are waffling about now. The population of the Stockholm suburb of Kista is predominately non-white European. Do you deny that?

In your view.

On the plus side, neither Belfast nor Glasgow have had to resort to strictly female only major music festivals (for fear of mass sexual assualts).
Are you still living in whiter than white Chesire county in Engerland Timberrrrrrrr? An unusal choice indeed.

Ok, so you were wrong.

As for your new claim, it very well might be the case. Even if we assume it’s correct, it’s pretty insignificant. There’s a house in my estate that is 100% populated by black people. Does that mean anything?

Have been attacked in both Glasgow and Belfast, never felt unsafe in Stockholm, Wouldnt walk around Glasgow or Belfast at night.

Psssst: This is the part where you ask if i would walk around a certain part of Stockholm at night
