Today i learned that Sweden is blaming immigrants for crimes committed by native born Swedes.

Sweden has always had a fairly high crime rate. Immigrants didn't make it worse, but blaming them just made an existing problem more visible.

Sweden has not had a “fairly high crime rate”, this is a totally bogus statement.

And yes, 2nd generation immigrants are clearly over represented when it comes to crime, in Sweden and every wheee else.

In Sweden these issues are pronounced because of a ridiculous taboo that existed 1995-2020 to even discuss this problem.

But it turns out, if you import >1 million people from dysfunctional societies with entirely different cultures, while sticking your head in the sand, you will faces issues…

FWIW I am from Sweden, was born in 1986. These problems were obvious to me.

Murder/homicide rate has been relatively consistent since 1990 https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/swe/swe...

I don’t know what you want me to do with this information.

The point of the information was that Sweden has a relatively high crime rate. For point of comparison, most of of the L.A. area has a lower crime rate than Sweden.

The other point was that the arrival of immigrants did not increase the crime rate.
