What makes you make that statement because they are one of the least religious Countries in the world or that they have one of the most diverse countries in the world? Oh and I know many swedes and they are some of the friendliest people I have ever met.
As half-Swedish, I can attest to the fact that Swedes are among the dumbest people alive. That might sound harsh, especially given the fact that they are quite friendly and sort of tolerant.
A prestigious university began to study Swedish sentiments regarding various of issues back in the 90's and forward. Every year, the researchers found the same view among Swedes....the people want less immigration. Despite this, Swedes will soon be an ethnic minority within coming the 20-30 years. This is not some right wing conspiracy but rooted in facts and statistical probabilities for the very near future based on migration patterns.
It would be one thing to replace a population with highly skilled workers that make Sweden a richer and a better country, however in Sweden's case, it is the exact opposite. The welfare system is slowly eroding and just before this post I read that a municipality here will have to lower the indoor temperature with 5,4 F in the elderly care because the municipality have accepted too many immigrants and the costs for accommodating them have skyrocketed.
Now back to why Swedes are so dumb? They have always wanted less immigration and white flight is widespread phenomenon here, yet the people still vote for the same political parties that are replacing them and making the country poorer and more crime ridden. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...
I'm sure it's more drastic than that and
@Son of Jamin is just the man for the investigative task. Statistics Sweden seems to engage in smoke and mirrors with things.
According to Statistics Sweden (a government agency), in 2030, approximately 1/3 of Swedish citizens will have been born outside of the country. With second and third generations of immigrants, ethnic Swedes will no longer be the majority.
It took 55 years of political will to change the demographics from one of the most homogenous countries in the world to one where the natives became a minority in their country.
