Poll: What preconceptions do you have/know of about Swedes?

[Queen Michael]

i live in denmark.. right next to sweden.. we got a bridge... those bloody drunken swedes come over and trash stuff and what not.. i dont like swedes... or maybe thats only the Sweden football hooligans.. sorry all you other from sweden

Swedish singer Karl Gerhard wrote a song about that in the forties (I think it was then, at least) the translated text of which goes as follows:
"Saturday evening, everyone goes across the bridge to drink. Can you imagine the bridge Monday morning? I can't..."

ABBA!!! Need I say more?

I was under the impression you were all blond white people, then I saw a black guy at the Olympics! I was like, WTF? A black guy in Sweden?

Also, your woman are blond and have teh secksy accents.

There are no black people in Sweden. They lied to you.

That's right. And there are no Mexicans in LA. Oh, wait...

Well what would a black person be doing in Sweden? Besides the fact that he would stand out horribly and look ridiculous, how did he get there? Who thinks, "I think I'll move to a country where every other inhabitant looks the polar opposite of me"?

I take offence to this. That's a pretty foolish thing to say that no black person would go to Sweden because they would 'stand out horribly and look ridiculous', there are black people everywhere, like there are white people everywhere (there are white people in the Caribbean and many parts of Africa too) why do you think there are black people in Japan, despite their aesthetic differences? Do you think they sat down and thought 'maybe I shouldn't go to Japan, I would stand out horribly and look ridiculous'? I doubt it, and thinking like that helps no one.

Sorry to have offended you, but I was just kidding. Of course I know that something like that wouldn't effect where a person lives. That was where the satire was coming from.

Meh, it's fine, I was severely irritated at something prior anyway, and I should have realised you were kidding. Normally I wouldn't take offence to much, plus posts can't really convey anything but words, so I guess just having words in a post leaves it up to interpretation and saw the side I wanted to from it.

P.S. I did look back at the previous posts and laugh. And also...

And it's often said that white chicks love black dudes, so...

This is fact. One by one we are taking their women, Sweden's greatest commodity. It's all part of the three step plan. ;¬)

And on a brief sidebar, you do quite like your boat avatars don't you?

As a Celtic fan, I have the preconception that 2 out of 3 Swede's are good at football.
