I don't have time to read the 40 page article.
I take it it puts a positive spin on the racism issue in Denmark?

By skimming the report, I would imagine that the report is truthful,lookingforitallthetime said:
but somewhat subjective. You have to remember that the bar is set
a bit higher in Denmark, where people always have prided themselves on
being fair, non racist etc. I never believed it, when I lived there, I thought
the reason for no problems was a very homogenious population.
That being said, the wars with muslims (Denmark had soldiers in Iraq) and
especially the Cartoon issue must have polarized the country. Maybe the
muslim immigrants feel it stronger, because Denmark has a state religion
with education in Protestant christianity in school.
I don't doubt that muslims immigrants have it harder than native danes in
denmark.
Enough analysis?
There is racism in Europe?...Nahhhh only the mean white Americans are racist....you surely must be joking.
Europe, in general, is experiencing a wave of xenophobia. For example, the Swiss People's Party in Switzerland received the most votes in the last election... a party built off xenophobia and which their official logo of 3 white sheep kicking the black one out of Switzerland. Sentiment in France and Germany is rising xenophobia.
It is more anti-immigrant than racism IMHO. They do not like new immigrants taxing their social system and also would rather have them conform. Europe, unlike say America, is more suspicious of strong religious beliefs hence muslims are veiwed with more hostility.

...not sure about that...we Germans don't have to many choice words for Turks..in any case racism..anti immigrant..or whatever..the end result is the same.
The all so sophisticated Euros have to admit now...that they are not better then the Yankee trash..they frown upon.
One wonders why if one doesn't like, for instance, France, French culture, food, language etc. . . they would move to France. Economic Migration is no justification for wanting to remake the country you've gone to in the image of your homeland.
n.b. Only a minuscule number of those involved are asylum seekers the others very much have a choice.

Are you kidding? I'd say the vast majority of immigration is for economic reasons. Just look at the history of immigration to North America. Heck America markets itself as the land of opportunity. And most people come for economic opportunity. They don't come because they are attracted to our culture. Most people would choose to stay in the home country if economic conditions were better. For example notice that the wealthiest asian country (Japan) has the smallest population in North America. There is a reason for that. Canada (and America) is historically a land of immigrants looking for better economic opportunity. If you were well off, you stayed put where you were back in your "homeland"Aardvark154 said:
Many times I have heard people complain about it being too damn cold here and that they can't stand living like eskimos and what a frozen wasteland this is and they rather be in better weather "back home".
