| What I meant by "homogeneous" was just that most people in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and the like are white people with similar backgrounds. I didn't mean any offense. I thought it was a given that when you throw people of different cultures together, there can be friction. God knows LA sees enough of that.
I'm not trying to argue that people should stay in their own countries, I'm just saying that this burqa law is a result of people from different cultures coming together. It is not the only result. I think that multiculturalism is a good thing.
My impression of this anti-immigration sentiment is built on anecdotes from friends and a detailed opinion from my brother, who lived in Denmark for a time, and various articles that I've read in the past few years. I do know that when I visited Denmark I felt completely out of place, being surrounded by tall pale-skinned blonds with good noses. |
