“Sitting by a big window and eating pizza with his daughter. Two tables away a man with soft pants and a little attitude. Comes to myself thinking that we are in a bad mood if someone were to look for him .The risk is so small that it approaches zero. But that the idea emerges… “
This is what Jörgen Huitfeldt, who is today the editor-in-chief of the magazine Kvartal, tweets in a post that has been widely circulated.
Other users interpret it as if Huitfeldt with “man with soft pants and a little attitude” refers to an immigrant, and the SR veteran gets harsh criticism. A number of people accuse him of being a racist.
“The sneaky racist points out different groups, etc. We understand. Fresh,” writes one person. the battle for the Swish crowns. Modus operandi: spread the irrational fear, always. Sad that one of Sweden's former serious journalists has sunk so low, so fast “, reads another post.
Member of Parliament Hanif Bali (M) believes instead that Jörgen Huitfeldt should have been more specific and instead of “soft pants and attitude” wrote “antisocial ghetto nonsense with street gang aesthetics, with roots from land with more camels than skiers, who want to copulate with people's mothers”.
