I had heard about the worldwide reputation of Rosengård, one of the most interesting and vibrant parts of Malmö, but was shocked to find this video on youtube (English-only speakers ignore the Swedish introduction)


(thanks to Christoffer)

Watching the video I barely recognise the area that is potrayed as a warzone by the Fox News team. I've spent a fair amount of time in Rosengård during the past year and, while I'm no expert on the area, I find it to be far safer than many parts of the UK. This kind of media misrepresentation does no service to race relations and is apparently designed to build a culture of fear rather than one of truth.

So long as we openly justify the oppression of the alien we can rest in comfortable apathy towards their pain.
