Swedes' perceived rudeness 'isn't racially motivated'

UK native Suhail Din sparked a heated debate among The Local's readers with his reflections on why Swedes refused to talk to him and his family during a recent visit to Stockholm. Contributor Ruben Brunsveld examines why. 

On August 15th, The Local published an opinion article called: ‘We never had a single conversation with a Swede’. 

Two weeks later the article has received more than 300 comments and has been shared on Facebook almost 600 times. So now that the dust has settled it is time for a more nuanced look at why this contribution sparked so many emotional reactions.
