I'd still like to see Roger Madsen introduced to this:

Oi, just describing the nature of Europe's rightwing populism for ya. It is important that Madsen said 'don't go to these African half-monkeys, go to Asia instead'. It is not coincidental.
It also helps to identify him, to know who or what he is.
He wrote his comments publicly on Facebook, about a visit from Norwegian royalty. It is very public, and would not have happened if it wasn't ubiquitous, if his thoughts weren't shared by so many of his voters. Madsen wrote it almost as an off-hand, 'common sense' comment.
If Madsen had said, say, 'don't hang out with Jews', he would've expected a lot of flak, instead of being almost surprised by it. It would also mean he would lose a lot of voters, instead of being in a government office as a member of the country's second largest party.



Racism is a contentious subject, with very many different subtexts. For example, when is the last time we heard anybody complain about Japan's 'mono-etnic' policy? If Finland doesn't want to take its share of refugees, they are considered hopeless racists. If Japan doesn't, nobody cares because their racism isn't white. It is simply accepted, taken for granted that Japan should be mono-etnic. Whereas white preferring mono-etnicity are deemed racists. The hidden subtext here is a remnant, or even lingering, idea that whites are superior. Or, more often, that white western culture is the natural standard, all other cultures variants from this standard. That is why westerners in a single breath will demand monocultural Finland to become multicultural, lest they be terrible racists, but will simultaneously deem it intolerable if mono-cultural Khoisan society should be 'destroyed' by foreign influence.
