Until last year when they voted to tighten the rules Sweden have had a very open door policy to refugees and migrants, probably the most open in Europe. As a result crime rates increased particularly sexual assaults and violence. The most heavily populated migrant areas such as Malmo now have an epidemic of hand grenade attacks and shootings which the authorities are struggling to control.
According to the most recent study, people from foreign backgrounds are 2.5 times more likely to be suspected of crimes than people born in Sweden to Swedish-born parents
I've heard this tune before and, to be honest, there should be a special place in insane asylums for people who claim the richest, most diverse and developed, with the best social safety net, social mobility and happiness levels, region on the planet is dying because some immigrants come from a different cultural backround and are slow to intergrate.
Interesting, I will have a look into the background of this. I'm sure the stats I saw came from the UN so someone is massaging the truth.
By their own admission, this does stand out:

Because the BBC is unbiased non-propaganda news outlet?It's just as credible as the BBC. It has its own agenda to a certain point but I don't see why reporting on an immigration issue in Sweden is non-trustworthy?

You didn't get those ideas from the UN you got them from the likes of Breitbart or Daily Mail and you didn't fact check the info because you weren't looking for info, you were trying to validate your own preconceived ideas.
As for the quote, let's not conveniently leave out the next paragraph and then discuss it, shall we?

Wow, I think it’is you who is jumping to conclusions. I have never ever been a reader of Brietbart or the mail, the only times I have been to those sites is when people have linked to them on here. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve primarily read the Guardian website for years. I saw Douglas Murray in an interview on C4 news and thought what he had to say was interesting. Had spare credits and got his book on audible. I will check but I’m sure it said UN figures for Sweden. It is clear that these figures are in question now and I am happy to completely retract what I said on that about Sweden if true.
On the second point, poverty is cited by the authorities as a cause for these migrants being involved in crime. This is something that can be debated as the cause. However it’s clear that mass migration to some of these places has been a detriment to them. The police in their own report cite that these places are challenging. Who would want high unemployment, high crime areas created in their country?
also you know Sweden fixed its numbers by no longer recording the nationality of attackers

Were they all Christian white privileged males?
