Why Is Norway So Racist?

A little self awareness is good, but there was the time you spent a whole thread having a love fest with an actual Nazi. I don't remember what the topic was, but you two were totally on the same page.

Do they not? Somalia, Eritrea, Pakistan, and Afghanistan are in the top 10 of countries whose people immigrate to Norway. Personally I wouldn’t describe any country as a ****hole, but those rank near the bottom of most categories of livability.

I've been to Somalia. It was a ****hole pure and simple.

To that extent, a model for Trump's America.

The vast majority of the immigrants the US takes in are white. Norway has an immigrant population of 16.8% whereas ours is about 13%, both legal and illegal. Define what is a ****hole country. Just try, for edification. Educate us.
 
Very easy question to answer.
It's obvious the Norwegians doesn't want any trouble.

Certainly has some horrible problems but I don’t see why we have to go out of our way to call countries names. All it does is piss people off.

Talking about one of the “whitest countries on Earth”, this is a great opportunity to address what I’ve seen little discussion of.

The Norwegian economy is an example of a mixed economy, a prosperous capitalist welfare state and social democracy country featuring a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors. Public health care in Norway is free. Norway has a Nordic welfare model with universal health care and a comprehensive social security system.
The wage difference between the lowest paid worker and the CEO of most companies as much less than in comparable western economies.

Norway’s immigration population is 16.8% of the total of which 61% have a non-Western background (primarily Morocco, Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, Iran).

In toto, there is nothing of the above that Trump and his supporters like about Norway. Except the one thing mentioned in the OP: The color of their skin.

Now, take a look at probably the right’s most hated president of all time, Obama. He pulled the nation out of the worst recession since the Great Depression aptly named the Great Recession. The 9.9% unemployment was reversed to 4.1%, a 5.8% improvement, the best since FDR. GDP grew 6.0% from -2.8% to 6.0%, the greatest percentage growth in any 8-year term going back to 1933. Revenues increased 73%, the same as during Clinton’s 8 years, after taking over a downward revenue trend from the prior administration. Percentage full-time workers improved. The U-6 unemployment rate, which includes people who want to work but have stopped looking, improved. But I belabor the issue. My point is, after pointing out that Obama isn’t as not only so bad as his detractors say, but the facts indicate he did quite well pulling us out of the Great Recession and going from there to hand over a healthy economy to his successor. The only thing left is the color of his skin.

17% of the Norwegian population are immigrants. This is up from 4.3% of the population in 1992, so Norway has been very open to immigration.

From the Wiki source, the ten most common countries of origin of immigrants residing in Norway are Poland (97,196), Lithuania (37,638), Sweden (36,315), Somalia (28,696), Germany (24,601), Iraq (22,493), Syria (20,823), Philippines (20,537), Pakistan (19,973), and Eritrea (19,957).
