Bandages are RACIST! - Sweden Strikes Again

Why do you refer him as "she"???

Is he identifying as male, then? (Sweden) Yes?

The bra strap would be a clue.

It could be an undershirt!

Every time Pasan posts, I remember how actually ridiculous Sweden is getting, because he reminds me that other Scandinavians are actually way more "rational" about this. I just don't get, what exactly is the origin of all this BS since obviously it isn't a Scandinavian culture thing.

[Stavroforos]

Don't worry, it'll reach them too.

In contrast to Sweden we have a solid right wing, I vote left but I'm glad they are there as opposition. also talking about problems relating to immigration and sexism is not as tabu as in Sweden. In general Scandinavia on any subject is that Denmark is to one side, (for example in immigration, Denmark is more sceptical to immigrants) Sweden in the other ( and Norway somewhere in between.

Sweden actually got a solid right wing and the majority of the Swedish voters voted for a right wing party. The reason that we despite this get a lot of coverage on this kind of topics is that reporters are far more likely to report on issues that they themself got an interest in. The figure below comes from a survey done by scientists in 2011 (source). What it represents is an index of political beliefs on a left to right scale over the time scale 1989 to 2011. Participants in the survey are described as: Journalists (journalister), publishers (Ansvarig utgivare), the public (allmänheten) and members of the parliament (riksdagsledamöter).

As we can see journalism is dominated by people with comparatively strong leftist beliefs while the public on average got centrist beliefs. What is interesting to note is that members of the parliament for the first time is averaging further on the right than the public which is most likely cause by Social Democrats voting for more right wing parties as they do not support the leftwing of the Social Democratic party.



So whenever we have a story about stupid leftists it's generally caused by leftwing journalists providing airtime to people whom they take seriously but whom most of the public find retarded. In this particular case I would also like to point out that the average "skin coloured" plaster in Sweden is beige rather than white. Meaning that the colour of plasters are far more similar in colour to Paula than the average Sweden.

Most sold plaster in Sweden:


Paula who was complaining.


Eva Fernvall whom she was debating with:


From now on I will exclusively refer to people of Paulas complexion as "plaster-coloured" as mulatto sounds anachronistic.

I guess hot blondes are Norse myths.

They make band aids in black skin tones. I've bought them myself by mistake. They may not be widely available in Sweden, but that's probably because Swedish people don't have skin color.



If there was a demand, there'd be a supply. They already exist.

[Ataegina]

even knowing its a satire sometimes make me sad that humans dominate this world since stupidity is rampant and over the charts.......... everything is racist, everything is sexist, everything is offensive, everything is ......... i guess i will wait for the next mass extintion event.

Goth market?

Who the really cares about this? How is this "news"?

Don't ever change Sweden. I do enjoy the explanation you've given for this, though, Adar. Makes sense.

Change is inevitable, we already got several media outlets (Dagens Industri, Göteborgsposten and SvD) who make fun of this kind of manufactured outrage so I expect the dominance of such beliefs to fall apart just as East Germany did. Personally I am considering the possibility of starting to refer to certain demographics in Sweden as "bandaid coloured" to further mock this concept.

I just wish that the change had taken place before we invested in these new road crossing signs...

What "race" is the far left pedestrian supposed to be? Albino? Honestly, only albinos are that white. Hell, come to think of it, that's whiter than an actual albino.

White? That's yellow buddy.

Surely this is less an issue with Sweden and more an issue with the seriousness feminists are being taken with now.

A few weeks ago a post came up on my Facebook news feed. Basically it was a complaint by a feminist to a sporting brand. It included a photo of an advertising campaign the sporting brand was doing for jogging. This photo showed two signs beside each other. One had a man with the words, "I run to get faster" and one had a woman with the words "I run to lose weight", I something to that effect. What I couldn't wrap my head around was that this woman was posting a complain that this was sexist because women don't only run to lose weight and this post had thousands of likes and hundreds of comments agreeing with it. Other women were literally going "Yeah, this is disgusting" and "Why haven't they answered this yet".

This is despite the fact that someone else replied with a photo that showed another advertisement sign. This one had a picture of a woman running and had the words, "I run to stay healthy" but of course with feminism logic, this was just ignored.

It's become less about "Don't be sexist" and more about "Don't do anything because a feminist might find it sexist".

[Kyriakos]

^TBH "I run to get faster" sounds pretty dumb

[Påsan]

Not really tho.

So what's the problem? She's mad because the bandages aren't the same color as her skin? Seems like a class-A first world problem.
