Hej :) I have cycled through Scandinavia and fell in love with scandinavia, I am planing on moving to Scandinavia but I can not decide on which country. Actually i was Planung to move to Sweden and also speak A2 level Swedish but the government is more on the right wing side.
I am F. early 20 asian looking human rights activist deeply believe in a cosmopolitan system, democracy, care a lot about the lgbtq+ community and dislike „Asian“ style parenting and that family hierarchy stuff.
I am afraid of racism and disacceptance for me as a human being.
As German, people here can be quite racist, Germans never saw me as German, often ask me where I „really“ from, kids on the street do Asian eye gesture… even my friends often ask me about Asian country and culture related stuff. I have just as much knowledge as most of the Germans do. Why is that different?
So which of these two countries might suit me better? Or maybe none of them?
I offer: skiing skills, alpine climb experience, love for licorice, dried fish and BUTTER. Out going, activism for human rights, love big dogs, MBA in mathematics, ironman distance Triathlet, lifeguard license, bad dad jokes! a living 4 year old sourdough starter! I can make 11 different German breads. Please take me Scandinavia 😅

jqqsc0fId say Sweden is better than Norway, due to Swedes generally is much more open minded than Norwegian. I ve lived in both.
At the moment Sweden is plagued by gun violence as an effect of the last 30 years of to much immigration combined with systems in society, like law enforcement, arent built for this kind of situation.
Most of the negative you hear/ read about Sweden arent true. Its the extreme rights narrative your seeing.

jqqvx6vYou think so? I have always gotten the impression the Norwegians are more open minded. Sure, I can understand that they sound a bit more harsh (they are more strict on immigrants) but I get the impression that on the inside they are very open-minded people. For Swedes it's more often the other way around: they say that they are open-minded but when you take a closer look those are just words. That being said, I know that some older generations of Sweden were more open-minded, but the younger generations are less so.

jqqxuatIts always a question of who you meet. But I mean that the facts
that Sweden has an economy dependent on export of goods and services.
that Swedens economy is driven by invention, not raw materials.
that Sweden has had a large refuge immigration.
that Sweden is very open to labor immigration
All are signs that Swedes are open minded.

jqqzrfvI see your point. I suppose it's a question of quantity vs quality? Like, would you rather have a few people that are well-integrated into society, or a lot of people who are not so well integrated? Some people would argue that one is more caring than the other.

jqrdm0zNo you dont. The high immigration is a product of the swedish open mindedness

jqre1ouIt seems so on the surface yes, but Sweden has lots of problems when it comes to integration.

jqrvosgNot due to a lack of open mindedness

jqv8lgqYou dont seem to be able to follow a reasoning. Perhaps if you wouldnt be so high it would be easier.
