[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 891979, member: 517"] A UKIP video unbaised? I don't think so. The very first response: "I am swedish and not a word that came out of her mouth was true", then follow the replies. A very particular crowd. I can't speak to the situation in Belgium, I live in Scandinavia. I will say though, from my experience, much of what's reported stems from xenophobia - for the most part it's not the people living in the cities that say these things, it's the people living in the almost exclusively white suburbs that are purposefully being stirred up. I live in the centre of Copenhagen, people from the suburbs make their way to the city on the weekend to party, my wife and I have been on the receiving end of their bigotry - accusing us of coming here and taking their jobs and living off their welfare system. Of course we're white, so it's only when we open our mouths that we risk exposure to the wrong sorts, imagine if we sported a deeper hue? It's this outlook on the world that I truly find frightening, that's what I feel is really happening when you hear the sorts of stories you're mentioning here, not helped by the politicians who recklessly stir up fears to win voters.
