Easy way to see if this is racist is reverse that comment.

"Try visiting Denmark instead of Norway. From there you only get halfmonkeys." or whatever demeaning term that is sometimes applied to those of Nordic descent.

I would say Roger Madsen would be charged with racial vilification if he was in Australia. I think Asian and Africa and Australia should put an embargo on Norway until he is removed from office and an apology is given out. I for one will start my own avoidance of Norwegian products today. Easy as I prefer Danish Buttercookies.

Have a nice weekend... I'm going home to my 'Half monkey wife and quarter monkey child with the Swedish surname."

Yes the guy is a vile racist.
I agree that this FRP character is nothing but a racist. But he did not state that Asians are half-monkeys.

His reference were to Africans as Africa is the last word in his first statement:
"Prøv å besøke Østen istedenfor Afrika. Derfra kommer det bare halvaper. De må ha 2-3 generasjoner på å tilpasse seg, og det ser man støtt i media"

"Try visiting the East instead of Africa, where only half-apes resides. They need at least 2-3 generations to be able to adapt, which is shown in the media all the time."

These FRP (progress party) characters are a legacy from the early days of this party, when the party had a rather darker shade of blue. (far right wing). The new generation FRP politicians are more moderate - but still deep blue.
I doubt, should the party get any real power, that characters like Roger Madsen would have any say in how politics, which concerns other cultures, are conducted.

But we can't hide the fact under a bushel, that racist elements flock to FRP when there are very few other parties with certain immigrant views. In fact, it is more or less the only party which have an issue with the current immigrant laws.
