    Ah yes, all the Swedes I had to ban from my discord for calling my black friends the N word were just being overly enthusiastic.

    Fuck you, every country has racists. Racism rises from a lack of empathy, exposure, and education. There’s always cruel, sheltered, idiots running around.

      It doesn’t have the same connotation for a non-American. It’s just an edgy word used to elicit a reaction. Like calling someone “gay” 30 years ago.

      It’s a “bad” word and shouldn’t be used but it lacks weight when used by a random swede.

        Yeah thats a load of horseshit. Especially coming from a swede. Racism began in Europe and the Swedes have a pretty large amount of active nazis. The “weight” is exactly the same and I pity anyone dumb/naive enough to think different…
