Racism, anti-Semitism , discrimination and injustice in Värmland .


Racism, anti-Semitism , discrimination and injustice in Värmland .


I will shortly talk about anti-Semitism in Värmland and tell you about a conversation with the person that can be interpreted in different ways.
Modern racists playing well for the role and to find things to people who have foreign background especially between the East or Asian born here ... When racists , anti-Semitism has bag with him and exploit law and rules of others, one can be interpreted that the country is on the way to an extremist country .

Racism



The word racism has come to describe anyone can believe that there are races among humans, the races are very different and that people should be treated differently depending on their race. It can be both a way of thinking and a way of behaving towards others. And racism can be found in a whole society . One can think and behave racist because they want to , but sometimes it's about something you do unconsciously .
How visible racism ?
Racism can be seen , for example, when someone says that there are races among humans and that the races are different worth . Science has shown that there are no races. We humans may look a little different if you look at , for example, skin color , but our bodies work the same way and two people with different color may be more similar than two people of about the same color.

But there are those who say that there are human races , and they work in different ways to treat people differently. In Nazi Germany people believed that there was an Aryan race that was much better than others , such as a jew race or Roma. In South Africa , there was a system called Apartheid , where it was said that there was much difference between whites and blacks that they could not live together , and white would be much better off .

How can you see it in Sweden ?
An example from Sweden is that Roma have suffered persecution and discrimination. For example it has been a discussion about that Roma would be sterilized for not being able to have children when Roma claimed to be less worthy than other Swedes. There have also been race research , until scientists concluded that there is actually some breeds.

In today's Sweden sees racism different. There are still those who use the term race to distinguish people . But it is more common to talk about immigrants and Swedes are so diverse groups. Some say the Swedes and immigrants are so different, that the culture and values ​​are so different , that the groups can not live together . Often divided people into "us" ( Swedes ) and "they" ( immigrants) . Such a division may lead to discrimination.

But there are really two groups of Swedes and immigrants ? Many find it and perhaps sees himself as the one or the other . Though it is often a problem for those who want to divide all the people in the two groups. One can look like many people think that a Swedish do, but be completely newly moved to the country. Or maybe it looks like many people think that immigrants do, but have lived this long. Either way, it's sad when someone thinks that one is in a certain way just because of what you look like , where you live or what family you come from .

There are differences between cultures, but often there are more similarities in such basic values ​​as it is wrong to kill or to lie. Often there is talk not so much about the similarities as the differences and that makes a culture may seem better than another.

What is racism on ?
It's hard to say what racism depends. It can be about power, who gets to decide and who gets to have a good time . Racism has been used to highlight certain people better and some as inferior and thus it has seemed fair that some should get more money and feel better , just because they belong to the right group .

Racism has also crept into the language, in newspapers and in school books. Sometimes different people lumped together and described in an unfair way . For example, when newspapers only mentions immigrants when it comes to problems like crime and unemployment. While Swedes described in many different ways , and when they do all sorts of things : have a problem , think about using a lot of things, are good at something , have fun, and so on. It allows one to learn to think racist if you can not take advantage of the right information. One can get an inaccurate picture of people who are said to belong to different groups.

What leads to racism ?
Racism leads to insecurity. Some people who have racist views may want to harm others. Some may be afraid of being abused and hear nasty things just because they seem to belong to a particular group. Racism also leads to injustice and discrimination. People treated for what they look like or where they come from and some are better and some worse .

Most people want the to be treated by others as the individual you are. There is racism in the way and can do, for example to meet a lot of expectations because you seem to be Swedish or immigrants. If you look Swedish out so maybe everyone thinks that they have been dancing around a maypole , or that you are good at writing and speaking Swedish . If it looks like an immigrant so maybe you always get the question of where you come from , if you do not think women and men should be equal, if you can really do a job , and more.

What is being done about racism ?
Many are tired of racism and trying to do so that myself and others to get rid of it. It could be by thinking about how to talk about different people and by responding when other mistreatment . There are also laws against racism and discrimination. For example , the school is required to teach what racism is, what it leads to problems and to try to reduce racism. If a student is subjected to racism , the school is obliged to investigate who exposes the student and the school must also try to stop racism. While at college , there is that kind of rules. If the school is not doing enough , or turn a blind eye to racism may help the Equality Ombudsman and a school may be liable for discrimination.

If you get into trouble with a crime because of racism, it is a hate crime . You can report the crime to the police and the court may sentence the culprit.
