The image above is how many politicians think multiculturalism could have worked at one point but that never happened,
MULTICULTURALISM IN SWEDEN
"Sweden had very few immigrants in 1900 when the nationwide population totaled 5,100,814 inhabitants, of whom 35,627 individuals were foreign-born (0.7%). 21,496 of those foreign-born residents were from other Nordic countries...
As of 2020, the percentage of inhabitants with a foreign background in Sweden had risen to 25.9 percent In 2020"

In 1975 the government without asking the people decided to allow loads of immigrants to enter Sweden without asking the people.
3 reasons was that:
1. The politicians were bored of a country where nothing super exciting happened and everyone looked the same so they thought that new blood would make things more fun.
Perhaps they saw on TV and by visiting other countries just how fun other people were compared to Swedes in general.
ANTISOCIAL CULTURE.

Mona Sahlin (image above) is a politician and was the leader of the Swedish Social Democratic Party from 2007 to 2011.
She might as well have been a politician in the 1970s because her way of thinking was one reason the government wanted immigrants.
She is very famous for hating on ethnic Swedes

“I think that’s what makes many Swedes jealous of immigrant groups.
You have a culture, an identity, a history, something that brings you together and what do we have?
We have Midsummer’s Eve and such silly things."

“I hate everything that is genuine, typical Swedish.”

“If two equally qualified persons apply for a job in a company with few immigrants, the one who is named Mohammed shall have the job.”

2. The politicians had guilt feelings.
Sweden had done many bad things in the past like not taking in Jews in WW2, trading with Hitler, colonialism in places like Finland, oppression of the native Sami people... so they wanted to take in immigrants so they the politicians could sleep better at night knowing that they have done something right.
3. Bragging rights.
Swedes have always believed that they are the best nation on earth.
No war for over 200 years, always being on the right side trying to have peace with everyone, equal rights for women, lots of forest, best system of democratic socialism...

Small parties did exist before 1975 that were against the immigrants but they never managed to get anywhere.
In the 1980s and 1990s racism in Sweden was at an all time high.

The refugee controversy in Sjöbo
Sjöbo is a municipality in Skåne (south Sweden) with 18100 inhabitants.
"In 1987, despite opposition and demonstrations, local Centre Party politician Sven-Olle Olsson (1929–2005), who was Sjöbo's municipal commissioner at the time, was successful in gaining the support of the Sjöbo municipal assembly to hold a referendum to decide if Sjöbo should ban the acceptance of foreign refugees.
The controversial referendum passed with a 67.4% majority for the ban in 1988, gaining Olsson and Sjöbo much publicity in the Swedish media.
Olsson was in turn expelled from the Centre Party following the referendum which led to the forming of the nationalist Sjöbo Party (Swedish: Sjöbopartiet) in March 1991.
In the municipal elections the same year, the party received 31% of the votes.
This led to Olsson once again becoming Municipal Commissioner, a position he held until 1998, when his party's support was reduced to 15% in municipal elections
Following the Sjöbo party's loss of support, the ban was overturned by Sjöbo's municipal assembly, and Sjöbo accepted its first refugees for more than a decade in 2001."

As time went on more immigrants moved to immigrant areas where the government did not really do much.
They gave the immigrants welfare money, housing and places like SFI (Svenska För Invandrare) exists to teach immigrants Swedish but for the most part the immigrants where left alone with no demand to integrate.
The government would try new things once in a while but nothing really worked because the government really thought that money could solve everything.
Spend lots of money on something and the problem would be solved.
Also because the government never had a policy to tell the immigrants to assimilate but instead they wanted Swedes and immigrants to meet half way and if something bad happened it was the fault of the Swedes for being racist and not as open.
That went on from 1975 until SD (Sweden democrats) entered the parliament in 2010.
The media would lie about things or talk about something to help allow more immigrants to come.
A good example would be in 2015 with the huge migrant crises that you can read about HERE.
During that time a story about this drowned boy was all over the media to try and get people to allow more immigrants to come.
Read about it HERE.
If Swedes complained they were racist and could lose whatever job they had.
The left were very good in trying to show everyone what a racist X person was to scare him to be silent.
Basically problems with immigration happened but because the politicians lived in rich areas and never saw the problems they did not really care until the problems started coming to the rich areas.
Another huge factor was that of all those small anti immigration parties in the1980s and 1990s one of them called the Sweden democrats managed to get over 4% and enter the parliament in 2010 so now SD had to be treated just like any other party and be allowed on TV showing the other side of the story.
Read more about the politics over at POLITICS.
The whole debate on immigration was really never talked about until SD entered the parliament.
In 2022 SD joined the government even if unofficially and the seriousness of the immigration problem is being shown.
Swedish politicians have known for decades that they cannot help the whole world meaning that they wont help the immigrants get to Sweden but if the immigrants somehow manage to come to Sweden they will in many cases get to stay for whatever reason when Sweden is very far away from any conflict zone.

Above is another video showing how the left does things.
Even if an immigrant gets rejected they can appeal meaning that in many cases stay in the country for years illegally.
Many immigrants who actually choose to live in towns with Swedes think that Swedes are boring (see ANTISOCIAL CULTURE section) and many Swedes think that immigrants are loud mouth people who do crime and are lazy.
The video above is just one more example but Sweden does have alternative media that do talk about the problems because no matter what the government cannot silence the voices of all the people unless it resorts to violence that will never happen.
Does that mean that you should not live or travel to Sweden?
After reading all this you might wonder but at the end of the day it all depends where you are.
Malmö, the third biggest city has over 40% immigrants but Stockholm the capital has few because they all live in towns surrounding Stockholm and not inside the city itself like in Malmö.
Rosengård has become somewhat famous in the media and it is situated inside the city of Malmö.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I love diversity, Swedes are boring so the more immigrants the better, helping people from other countries is our right, more immigrants but not Muslims, against immigrants...
Whatever you might think it`s another thing to add to your so called list when figuring out what to make of Sweden.
