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 😅

jqqtki4From a Swedish point of view Norway is a smaller version of Sweden with more money and bit higher standard of living. I would've said that it's easier and cheaper to come to Sweden but I'm not sure if that's true with the new rules that are coming to immigrants.
How you are treated depends a lot on what kind of Asian you are. If you look rare people will assume you are an immigrant., even after you've been here 30 years and speak perfect Swedish, I know kids to people where 1 parent is Swedish and the other is not and while I think they look Swedish a lot of other swedes will just assume they're not and speak English to them. It's kinda funny since if someone looks foreign enough most people will speak Swedish and then switch to English to try and avoid offending them.

jqqx3ouI like this strategy sweden is doing and I have been experienced that by myself. I cycled alone from Germany to Nordkapp in 2021 and met countless Swedes and Norwegians. The Finns are super crazy but majorly friendly but their economics systems and healthcare is not very good… I have always been approached in norsk or svensk. Have only been approached once in englisch by a German couple from Düsseldorf -.- I am aware of i won’t be fully integrated. I am okay with that but please do not give me the feeling I am a human or second class. That’s what most Germans give me. They say things like: oh you eat bread, don’t you normally eat rice? Or stuff like: if you complain about our trains then just go nwhere you are coming from. You probably will never see a real train if you weren’t here.

jqr8ma5What do you mean their ”economic systems” and healthcare is not very good? That’s just false.
