"Homogenous" - I've seen this used a lot as an explanation as for why social democracy works in nordic nations. Low key, "They're all white, of course it works"
Hello there every white nationalist’s take on Japan and China. We get it, those pesky Asians don’t have brown or black people and you don’t know enough to tell internal divisions since they all look the same am I right? But because of their racial purity they can do things like functional city planning which your being held back by some poor girl getting food stamps who’s great grandmother you literally owned.
I'm conflicted on this. I think there are real considerations to be had about the social effects of drastically different cultures living together. In Sweden after the 2015 refugee crisis, a significant part of the lower classes turned to fascist racism. Not to mention the cultural shock of refugees being forced to contend with suddenly living in godless Sweden. This is why immigrants historically form ghettos, so that they don't have to integrate as quickly. Americans form rich ghettos in foreign countries too, so they only have to interact with Americans, because it's just easier. You don't have to rely on this new language as much, you can see people who share your values, you are part of a community that more likely has your back.
This does in no way excuse anti-refugee stances though, because the entire west is complicit in the conditions that created refugees, and either way the "integration" issue is the better alternative to letting people fucking die. Hot take, the better alternative for Sweden would have been to go against NATO in the 00s and to not sell bombs.
This isn't even related to your comment anymore lol, I agree when someone says homogenous it's 99% showing some white supremacy. Also social democracy doesn't work because of homogeneity, it works because A. they had a huge communist movement that forced concessions and B. they're rich as fuck.
