The Swedish election

[Beskar]

I always wondered something though....

If I remember correctly, the right wants focus on the individual and treated as such. Protecting the individual from the masses. Evils of socialism and all that lot. So why do the 'right' brand a segment of the population and call them evil, even though there are plenty of individuals in that constructed grouping working hard and simply progressing with their lives?

It always struck me as silly and contradictory.

As for crime-statistics, perhaps the conditions, economically and socially for foreigners leads them more likely to commit crime, but on that note, should you stick them all in camps or expel people on the basis of their skin color or religion? Should we tag all Muslims so if they go near someone vulnerable, it sets off an alarm? Where are these solutions outside of "Muslims/coloured people are teh evilz!"

It is a fact that in-group people view out-groups in negative stereotypes. "Those other them are not like us, they are all negative negative!", and this is simply what is occurring.

I am not going to deny statistics, but if I was in power, I would tackle the issues so people were not vulnerable and deal with any of the issues. I can do all of this without going on some bigoted rant saying coloured people are evil as well.

There is a big difference saying there is a "situation in this section we need to deal with" and "all coloured people are evil!". Unfortunately, the ones who advocate the latter cannot tell the different between the former and when called out on their bigoted opinion, cry foul trying to say they the people accusing them as such 'want to get in bed with coloured people and have wet dreams with them', as some one earlier mentioned.
