Swedes have been taught to not take for granted the social safety net and be honorable about not abusing it. However, the influx has lead to increased abuse of the system. There was a lot of Xenophobia present.

We have a fair bit of family out in Sweden, and this is exactly the #1 topic amongst the gripes of Swedes.
The immigrant population is moving in and abusing the welfare state, women staying home in perpetual maternity leave and taxing the state beyond its capacity as so much of the money being spent is heading towards minorities.
Its very correct that in these evil socialist nations of the Nordic countries people that can work do, and very few people would willingly sit on the system because of strong social stigma's attached to it.
The rapes thing, there is a point here Hoz is making which is very true. Sorry but the fact remains the increase in violent rapes is coming from the immigrant minority. Maybe its something to do with the very open and liberal youth clashing with immigrants in repressed sexual societies which treat women as inferiors?
I mean there is racism sometimes at play, but there is also a very serious growing problem of culture clashes in Europe as the immigrant populations grow in influence and attempt to change the cultures of the host nations to adapt to them not the way it should be, they adapt to their new homes.
The sad thing is the result to all this is going to be and is already happening, xenophobia, racism, and most definitely violence.
Its not a matter of if but when, you can bet Sweden will be amongst those nations seeing a big push of right wing extremism and the visible muslim immigrant population will be target #1.
I'd be more sympathetic if the muslim immigrants were attempting to become good adapted Swedes willing to work hard and become part of the culture of this nation, but lets not kid ourselves; they are not attempting to become Swedes they are attempting to turn their small corners more into Islamic neighborhoods, hoping to eventually turn more into their way of thinking and of course adapt such things as sharia law.
I don't get why stating the obvious is called racism, if nothing its culturalism. If you emigrate to a nation and want to hold your traditions, awesome. But if you want to turn that new home of yours into a new version of your previous home, GTFO.
