It's too easy to blame this all on immigrants. Let's not pretend the native population actually wants to mix.


Is it the fault of the native population for not wanting to mix?

A weird fact about Sweden is that if a popular vote was ever held on immigration alone, we would never have had this situation. The polls on the issue have always been in majority "against" mass immigration. So for some reason democracy doesn't work over here. Maybe you've had better luck where you're at.


Thats a separate problem, one I would agree with you on.

But I don’t think using statistics (badly) is a way of having that particular conversation. Its too easy to end up in a conversation about nothing.
