    Danes just like their personal space... But some people are racists too. You just can't equal how they act in a bus or train to racism.

    What a great video. It was great to see this topic, from another point of view. As a Dane, I have seen racism, but mostly it is towards people, who behave badly, and after awhile, that group, if they keep behaving badly, will get a reaction that will target the group, instead of the individual. I think it is mostly towards people from the middeleast. It is not because of the religion or colour, but because there are a lot of incidents of people from middeleast, breaking the law. So in the end a lot of people will generalize. Some of the old old generation will be racist though, because the simply dosen't know any better. They still believe that all africans, live in huts, and have never seen a car or a telephone before. They are uneducated. And the same people will have a problem, with Danish people from across the country. Danish people also get picked on for beeing Danish, by others. Sadly I think that it is hard to get rid of prejudices intirely.
    It was great to see the interviews, and hear what there experiences have been.

    I am German, i have witness "racism" on some work place towards my West-African colleagues i spoke to the underboss to shut up and treat them like anyone else. He always screamed at them, yet to us he was calm. However this is not a one way route.
    Next example, i sit in the Train watching the Station Display so i don´t miss the exit. African diude next to the display starts to believe i am starring at him and starts a fuzz with me. Other Day other African dude harasses old lady in the train because she closed the window (old people above 70+ freeze even in summer, aks your grannuies). He starts yeling about Africa. I ask if he treats old persons in Africa the same? He shuts up, but first calling her racist, just for closing a window.*Facepalm
    Many People like this Lady in your video don´t know what racism is. Saying country X is full of diseases is not racism its at best chauvinism or ignorance. Feelings or Body language is not racism. particular in a different culture people tend to interpret any different experience as bad faith.
    I think both sides can learn from each other. Peace

      Excellent comment!
      We must be careful with attaching intensions to other people, and I claim that we are not racists. But extremely culture-etnocentristic
      Like, if you sit down next a Dane in a bus - and you could have avoided it - the Dane is likely to move to an other seat.
      It's got nothing to do with your skin colour, but they are trying (indirectly) to teach you "That's not how we do it in Denmark". NOBODY sits next to each other - if it's avoidable.
      At the busstop: First person arrives, second person will stand 10-15 away from first, third person EXACTLY between 1st and 2nd. Hereafter the rules get more complicated 🙄
      Blond, blue eyed Danes living around this bus stop will behave like that.
      Trust me, if a blond, blue eyed Dane comes up and stands next to any of them, they will shy away, and give her "the look".
      But if you're foreign, you can't know that it's got nothing to do with YOU. It's all about US being weird 🤣
      I moved to a small village and took the bus every morning. It took a WEEK before I got the other person waiting to growl "Morn" back, when I said Good Morning! We are of cource both as Danish as they come 🙄 - but I'd lived abroad and gotten weird 🤣🤣

They will look at you, are you talking to me? why would you do that? :) but if you are positive, maybe joke, small talk can be initiated.

    i'm a dane and i think Steven from the 17:30 mark pretty much summed it up, without overly explaining it. It's a really simple mindset that we have, and he seems to understand it perfectly. There will always be prejudice and stereotypes/stereotyping if you "come at us sideways" in a sense, and we don't mean that in some sort of indirect-low key way of insulting anyone, it's just a sideeffect of what we have been seeing becoming an increasingly larger "trend" of people from mostly the middle east, but also from african countries, coming in, with some sort of weird vengance-mission, and it that's how people chose to come at us, we will definatly use your skin color against you, just like you are using ours, against us. That being said, we're not racist at all. But if we deem a person from another country to fit a certain bill, most danes will raise and eyebrow, and look at you sideways, and probably will end up being pretty nasty verbally, if you push the envelope. But i feel like that applies world wide, so it's probably not a danish thing.
    One more thing that sadly fuels prejudice, is what the western world is seeing a lot of nowadays, which is blatan anti-white-ism, and we have a lot of Haters coming in, to pretty much be a problem, so sadly, for the good people coming in, you will probably get mislabeled as a bad person even if you do not deserve that.
    It's not a white or non-white thing, but as Steven pretty much said, we probably have a pretty "aggresive" style of defence in that sense. if we feel like somebody is here, and is blatantly against us on some hater-type behavior, we're not going to shake your hand, to put it mildly.

    Every country has racism.
    But a thing with the danes, is most of us don't care about racism at all. we simply don't think about it... For good and bad.
    So if a dark person experience racism. The dane has properly not though about it to be racism at all.
    Danes just speak there mind. So alot af people around the world, could see it as rude or racism, no matter the color.
    As a native Dane, we sometimes find people offended by what we say, and we first figure out that the person thinks its racism, when they tell us.
    The good thing is that when someone feels that a dane is a racist. He is for the most part not.
    If you are adopted or born into the danish society or lives like a dane, as a dark person. People will not put more into it, than if you had red hair or blue eyes, or a pink shirt.
    So danes could say. "Give it to the dark/black man" but for us its like saying "give it to the man in the pink shirt."

They bought land in Uganda and built an - extra home and a Plantagen area with bananas, near her mother and family in Uganda also, as his bad back felt better from the warm weather. His wife like coming back, at intervals, but not eventually being stopped by Police and Blackmailed to be allowed to continue, in their Taxi!

      As long as you fulfill criteria, criteria are things like being selfsufficient, language (danish skills), understanding of how danish culture/society works, not being a serious criminal (we're not counting your speeding ticket), more violent crimes, drug seller, organised crime. And of course having stayed a number of years, only ones that get a "discount" on some of these are other nordics, because languages and cultures are so closely related.

      In Denmark it's illegal to registrer people's race and ethnicity, their political -, religious -, and sexual orientation.
      You see, when the nazies occupied Denmark, they raided the trade unions' offices: They had made notes of which members were communists. Essentially a shopping list for whom to send to concentration camps 😱
      When the Nazis wanted our Jews, they had to make their own "shopping list", and in the time it took them, we manage to hide "the goods" 😆

    I think there is a vary blurry line between "real" racism and in a "in the moment" negative encounter.
    We as humans are vary visual, so its much easier to call a black person a black slur than to argue a personal opinion or stance on a subject in the heat of the moment.
    There has also been some unfortunate incidents or policies in the past becouse of ignorance, not stemming from racism such as accidentaly creating ghetos inwhere refugees has all been placed in the same area, making it extremely difficult to intigrate into the Danish socioty. Thies unfortunate past incidents where highlighted by the press, becouse they make for interesting stories scewing public perceptions. And its a few small single incidents involving a tiny number of people.
