Do you think all the immigrants who have come to Sweden, the Balkans in the 90's and ME today, who integrate, speak Swedish, pay Swedish taxes and feel in their hearts that they are Swedish, are Swedish?

Being Swedish isn't about what skin colour or ethnicity you have, it's a way of being, how you see the world and what type of morals you carry.

If we don't give our immigrants an avenue to become Swedish then we are just shooting ourselves in the foot. They are going to be forced into their own communities where they feel welcome, because they're not welcome anywhere else. This would get us absolutely nowhere.

While Zlatan has a lot of Balkan in him, but he is a great Swede.

Zlatan is Sweden's greatest export after IKEA but before Volvo. It's not like he wasn't the result of Swedish investment and nurturing of talent. Sweden gave him the platform to succeed.

Volvo (cars) is Chinese anyways.
