Most Swedish native people proud themselves to be well educated, discerning, open minded and liberal. We see ourselves as anti racists and by allowing immigrants from all over the world to come to our country we think that we’re a good human beings.
The political discussions in our country are sometimes bizarre. I will don’t even mention Facebook. Crazy stuffs. You’re inside if you share the opinions of the majority and if you don’t you’re socially dead. That means that if you’re unlucky you can lose your job, be socially isolated and you will be branded as a racist. And this is for real.
The Swedish media is hypocrites of highest order. And that’s an understatement.
But her is the interesting part. Being political correct is one thing but integrate with unknown people is something else. This is the part where Sweden fails badly.
Our country are simply described diveded in three parts.
Wealthy people with good jobs who lives in almost totally white areas. You find mix races but most of them are high educated, in a relationship with a native Swede or adopted. They work, live and socially integrate with people who have similar social status. These people are 100% political correct and they do charity a s o but apart from having a correct image they don’t care one bit about immigrants as long as it don’t affect their lives.
Immigrants who lives in rough areas with a high percentage of uneducated, unemployed, non integrated and they live their own lives far apart from the Swedish society.
The rest. Hillbilly’s, people with handicap or without employment.
Zlatan grow up in Rosengård/Malmö and he was a typical second generation child who lived outside the wealthy society.
When he became successful he wanted, intentionally or unintentionally, to be part of the wealthy group. Blonde girl friend, kids, houses in prestigious areas, hunting (upper class activity), parting with other successful businesses men. In short he went from a poor immigrant child to a wealthy high profile athlete.
Make no mistakes. Zlatan is a political force. Sometimes you get the feeling that he has ambitions, sometimes not. If Zlatan took a political stance his opinion could change the political landscape. This part creates fear.
So when part of the Swedish establishment and media tries to undermine his popularity (read influence) they do it with a purpose.
Another part is that Zlatan threatened some newspapers, individual journalists like trash, rightly or wrongly, so now they see the time for pay back.
Being a star playing for Manchester United gives him a platform. Moving to China isn’t the same. Nothing happens by a coincidence.
Without any inside knowledge I think this is what Zlatans media strategist is seeing. That’s why he starts to talk about a underlying racism. And he’s right, that’s the scary part. This drama will continue..
