Most people have seen the quote where White House Press Secretary Tony Snow claimed that, “Here’s the unmentionable secret: Racism isn’t that big a deal any more. No sensible person supports it. Nobody of importance preaches it. It’s rapidly becoming an ugly memory.” But what Mr. Snow didn’t realize was that racism didn’t end. It just moved to Scotland where “11 per cent of Scots think attacking people from a different ethnic background is not racist.” Although it appears that racism may be leaving Scotland as well: “racism is now perceived as less of a problem in Scotland, with only 7 per cent of those questioned “strongly agreeing” it is problematic, the lowest-ever level.”

It appears to be heading East. So if you are a minority living in Sweden, watch out.
