“Hatred against Swedes must be stopped”, reads the title of the editorial, which is written by Paulina Neuding.

Neuding draws attention to the fact that immigrants are in principle never convicted of hate crimes against Swedes, even though Swedes are often victimized because of their ethnicity.

She takes as an example a taxi driver who was brutally robbed and beaten by a young immigrant gang. The driver later stated that the immigrants apparently got “high” on tormenting him. Before they ran away, one of them exclaimed: “Damn what this lad is screaming!”

Another case that Paulina Neuding mentions is from Strängnäs in 2015, when a woman was raped twice in a row by different constellations Arabs from Bert Karlsson's asylum. Fria Tider then revealed that one of the men had said “I'm gonna fuck you little Swedish girl” before he raped the woman.

“Not a word about hate crimes in the judges,” notes Neuding. Nor in the many cases of humiliating robberies directed at Swedish boys and young men.

“If groups of ethnically Swedish boys went around terrorizing black-haired children in a similar way, we would probably have had a very thorough discussion about racism. Now that aspect is disappearing both in the social debate and in the authorities' reviews of racism,” she writes.

“Power for me is that the Swedes should look at me and lie down on the ground and kiss my feet,” said a second-generation immigrant in an interview for an essay in 2005 that is covered in the leader. Another example is the quote “it is not as wrong to rape a Swedish girl as it is to rape an Arab girl” from a young immigrant who was interviewed in DN after a high-profile gang rape in Järva in 2000.

“The hatred towards Swedes must be examined and mapped. It needs to be dealt with by the judiciary in the same way as hatred against other ethnic groups,” states Paulina Neuding.

The article has caused anger among left-wing profiles. The far-left racial researcher and Expo founder Tobias Hübinette writes in X that the article is “directly taken from SD's ideological fatabur”.

Anders Lindberg, political editor-in-chief at Aftonbladet, questions why SvD spreads “these myths ” in leadership position.
