Here it's actually the other way around. Saying anything rascist or relgiously demeaning to anyone other than a Swede is heavily frowned upon. That can get you in all sorts of trouble. And btw most Finns and Swedes get along just fine and are oblivious to either ones genetic makeup.

I meant on the forum. I've never seen anyone refer to Finns as Finnuits IRL. I can imagine how, in the real world, it may be completely acceptable to insult Swedes racially. The more we import political correctness in Turkey, the better I understand peoples problems with it.

No it's probably not because of Elias at all. I can't speak for all Swedes, but most of my social network would not care at all if anyone tried to insult us racially. We would mostly think that to be a cute and ridiculous attempt to provoke us and go like this.

I like to poke fun at Elias every now and again, it wasn't something that I was seriously considering.

Maybe, but even that would be a rather futile attempt at trying to insult a Swede. ABBA are still considered to have been musical pioneers at the time. My 1987 Volvo 240 would still be going strong if I wouldn't have smashed it into a Japanese SUV. And IKEA? I've heard they are doing pretty well. That's true, but that is how racial patronisation works. Obviously it's not a great technique to demean someone if you're the minority in that group, but singling out a person with certain aspects that define their nationality can be quite a hurtful thing for many.

Give it a try but I don't you will suceed with a racial attack on those grounds. I don't believe making such racial attacks is effective to begin with. Not that I make racial attacks often but when I happen to be provoked to a point where I do, I try not to go on angry rants.

Sure guess you are right about that. Just saying Swedes aren't that sensitive. Then again I'm not saying it should be ok for others to exclusively rip on Scandinavians and then cry rascist when we might talk back. Agreed. If everyone is equal, everyone is equal.
