If you didn’t speak out against racism, who would?
Sweden is a pet topic of the far-right Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party. They constantly and obnoxiously remind us what a horrible place Sweden is because there live Muslims and other migrants.
PS chairperson, Riikka Purra, continues to push her ethnonationalist and ethnic replacement theory at almost every opportunity. She constantly attacks people who are vieraskielisiä, people who do not speak Finnish or Swedish as their mother tongue.
Purra tweets below:
In the [September] Swedish [parliamentary] elections, there is a general debate to discuss how many “non-Nordics” can live in each area and what problems too many will cause.
So times are changing, even in Sweden. Unfortunately, it is too late [for them].
If only Finland would understand [to act] before such a matter happens.”
Purra forgets to mention how much migrants have contributed to building Sweden’s economy and well-being. She doesn’t, for obvious reasons, mention how our ever-growing elderly population will impoverish us.
Moreover, Purra, like her PS lapdogs and followers, are constantly whining about how bad Sweden is and how immigration is bad for society.
I have three questions for Purra:
1. What will you do with those migrants and minorities who live in Finland and who you don’t like? Is there a PS “final solution” to this matter?
2. It’s clear that you want to continue disenfranchising black, brown, and racialized Finns. Solution: Bounty chocolate bars – dark from the outside but white inside?
3. How does your hateful and polarizing rhetoric help create a functioning society?You want more polarization and hate because it helps fear-mongering, which attracts voters to the PS.
Purra and the PS: You will never succeed. Our challenge to your demented society will be our clarion call founded founded on our values and the rule of law.
Remember, racism and discrimination are illegal.
