prashp, why are you spreading such rumors on the internet?

About 25% [1] of the population are foreigners, so it can't be that bad?

If you're not white, still move here (I've been living here since 2016, love it). If you work in IT you most likely end up in a bigger city anyway, and as in most big cities in western europe nobody cares about the color of your skin. Or what languages besides english you speak.

It's not a convincing argument. As counterexample, until not to recently, black people were a sizable portion of the US population, and it was literally that bad for them...

They did come to Switzerland voluntarily and could have left any time they wanted, that must mean something. However an overwhelming majority of that 25% are white and European so I agree that it's not the most convincing argument.
