@GreedAndSelfishness Lol, idiot. Brown-haired swedes have existed for centuries, millenias even. Finns donät have the same etnicity as swedes, they're genetically quite far away from each other, so you can't compare the rate of blondes in the swedish population with the finnish one.
Swedes are cold, the native people of Sweden lack of respect to their parents, they leave them in home for old people when they get old. It's very hard to find help for directions in Sweden if you compare it to London, Spain or in America.
The swedes work like this, if they dont have to be polite, they dont.
But swedes are far better than the french and the germans i'd have to say.
Bah I import most of my alchohol from Germany since it's _much_ cheaper. It's preatty common if you live on the west coast. ;)
If I remember correctly we import/smuggle about 50% of our alcoholic beverages. That number is probably a bit higher atm since the euro is unusually weak compared to the swedish krona.
If someone would sit next to me in the bus or subway (if there were a lot of other empty seats) I would think something like "What does this person want with me?" and if it's a person in my age and opposite sex I would almost take it as a flirt. Anyway I would feel very awkward EXCEPT if it was a child or an old man/woman.
I never understood that cold/unfriendly stereotype.To me they're just low key and quietly friendly.They just don't overdo it and become pushy.In some countries people are so,erm,pathologically friendly it's terrifying.
Im not Swedish nor white but i feel the same way about the subway situation it is weird, and the door thing come on! everyone in the world do the same thing i dont necessarily see it as rude, you have your own hands to push it
ofc if there is an almost empty bus or train u dont sit next to that one stranger that also is there, ofc thats weird, and that door thing, i think norwegians are a little bit better on that lol
Its polite to give your seat away for old people if the bus/train are full but you some people dont and when i get old im gonna be screaming and jelling at young disrespectfull kids haha
Jag har varit utlandssvensk i flera år, född utomlands med svenska föräldrar, och många säger det, och jag kan hålla med om, att det finns OTROLIGT många positiva aspekter - men svenskar är svåra att lära känna, det är kallt och arrogant och det är lätt att bli "bästisar" på en fest om man kan svenska, men om man inte gör det tar det åratal att "break into the society"
@880514JP Should have just used english. My swedish is just so low-level. It's only one sentence and it's so wrong (words,grammar etc.) . Luckily I don't live in sweden. Altrough I should speak better swedish as I live in Finland....
LMAO. wat? It's like that anywhere though...I live in Canada and when I'm on the subway people don't sit next to other people they don't know, unless there's no where else to sit. I don't like the stereotype that says Swedes are antisocial. lmao....But there are so many blondes in Sweden, and blondes tend to be shy, but that's different from antisocial...so maybe "stereotype of antisocial Swedes" just comes from "shy blonde people" which you will find any country you go...lol!
I live in Sweden. In my hometown we always holds the door for each other. this video sucks and does not show the truth about Sweden and the Swedes. Sweden is a fantastic country to live in, given a bit cold in the winter but there is nothing that beats a Swedish summer!!
I think its the same in all countries. The people in the Capital seems like posh, rude and ignorant by the rest of the population. The preconceptions we have in Sweden is:
People from the north are slow and dosent talk much.
People from the south (Småland) are cheap.
People from Gothenburg have a lot of humor.
People from Stockholm are brats and allways in a hurry
3:00 in Venezuela is polite to give your side seat to another person!!!! Do swedes think is weird???? Excuse me but weird would be to faint over a person lol!!!!!
Its never been like that musepigg and it will probably never be.Maybe for adopted in Sweden its different but an inmigrant is allways an inmigrant even if she/he lives in the country 20 years speak good swedish or got a passport/ citizenship. Even if you are born in Sweden its in of to have parents who are not swedish to not be consider as a Swedish. THATS the end of the story mate. Dont tell me
if ppl don t watch this video they will think sweden is the best,otherwise they will think it s just lagom...with all this alcohol stuff and doors and then fighting...come on guys, it s all exeggerated, it s all just half true.
is it true that in sweden many believe that gender is only a "social construction" and that there are no differencies between men and womens behavour by nature... if they didint go trough that "comstructiuon" ?? I have a friend she lived in sweden she said many swedes think like this.. is it true?
@BANDiTiSM Yes, that's partly true but mostly intellicetuals or academics who ponder the gender inequality. However, I don't think that most think that it is only a social construction, but that biology has some part in gender as well..
How are these "modern" traits? Modern social behaviour is not klinging to family but being self sufficient and self reliant. This would include moving out and finding your own place early in life, marrying late, if at all, having few cilldren and pursuing equality in a relationship. Meaning, no gender roles.
What you mentioned as "modern" traits are flaws in character. It has nothing to do with modern behaviour but are flaws you kan find in any society in the world.
I don't know what backwards fucking country you hail from but I'm sure it's lawless and full off imbeciles like you. People prone to violence dishonesty, corruption and beating women.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am not equal to women, thats why I dont hit them. Women are weaker than men and they give birth to our children. So I dont hit women
Swedes dont know how to threat women, they walk before women in the door, they let their date pay her meal! etc etc etc
I Lived in sweden 5 years and thats ´the most fucked up country I have never lived in! sure the nature is okay and the social wellfare is okay, but the population is.. omg!
I liked the way you pronouced the Swe. words correctly except "Krona". But personally I think Sweden= Finland. After centuries of being united we have become the same, with minor differences, like the school systems and immigration policies but the language being the biggest.

But it's no wonder, about 4-5 million swedes have some family history with immigrants from Finland.
Haha, hilarious! I live in Sweden and the thing that I liked the most is that you brought up the word "lagom" and that we rarely hold the door. (it's different in Gothenburg however, a few people hold the doors)
Problem with the alcohol thing is that Swedish people don't get all of there alcohol from "Systembolaget" a lot comes from smuggling and private trips to Germany or Denmark.
This clip is hilarious! I have Swedish ancestry, and perhaps this sort of behavior is passed down through lineage as well. If you found this video offensive, just rewind to the disclaimer at the beginning: it's a terrible, terribly funny documentary.
And why is Erkan not Swedish after having lived here for 15 years? He looks what? 17? Are you implying that behaviour is genetic? He's Swedish. The end.
Im just gonna say something here. (not knowing if or what you have been discussion). To be considered a swede by law your mother has to be born in sweden. Thats all there is to it..... But I personally would consider HIM a swede no doubt.
I agree. It is infinitely annoying and backwards how people categorize "Swedes" merely by racial biological standards. If you live in Sweden and have a Swedish citizenship then you are Swedish! end of story.
About hair color, scandinavians have a more grey-blond and brown color in the hair than the germans. Blond was very common among the germans while in amongs the scandinavian it was more silver-blond and brown-blond. It´s hard to describe the color but my hair has a brown-blond color of some sort.
I loled IRL several times. I live in sweden and are a swede and I think that everything that was said on this vid (except the drinking thing! We fight cuz its fun!!) was true :)
I'm a 100% swede and I'm not blond, I have dark hair and coloured skin. The swedes are mixed, there are cold swedes, there are warm swedes, religious, antireligious, nazis, antinazis.
They're humans, like any other, and can't be placed in one group.
About that blond thing, do you really think that will even last? I mean don't expect Sweden to be blond when you have like over one million dark foreigners in your country, that's just stupid.
Yes, it's very nazistic to be proud of that blond thing, that's racism, not nationalism.
And I can tell you that I have seen a lot of dark haired and coloured people in Kiruna too, there are immigrants everywhere, so it won't last dude, I'm sorry.
Haha go read a book or something -.- It's not nazistic to be proud about being blonde. I think my blonde hair makes me look good so now I'm a nazi? And I think it's cool that my country is the country with most blondes. So now I'm a nazi? I still think we should welcome foreigners and I have nothing against their looks or way of being. But yeah sure I'm a nazi cause I like being blonde! -.-
Over many thousands of years the people who have lived here from generation to generation must logically be regarded as ethnic swedes. To so easily dismiss this fact and simply say that being a Swede is just a matter of what your passport says is incorrect.
These sentiments robs a people of it's heritage and culture
To take pride in your heritage and origin is a positiv thing and helps shape your self image and your place among other ethnicities and nations. To loose once herritage is to loose a part of your identity.
Everyone, wether ethnicaly swedish or a swedish immigrant or both, should pursue their heritage so that they feel confident in who they are. People who lack this self-image often feel uncomfortable and lost. They feel they don't know what their "role" is in this society and shun/turn away from it. Knowing what you are and taking pride in it is essential for us all to live together without recentment.
Men lagom finns visst i andra länder, det är bara larvigt snack... Tänk dig ett rum med en tjeck, en thailändare, en indier och en svensk.. Tjecken säger "Vi har gott öl!", indiern säger "Vi har gott käk", thailändaren säger "vi har grymmaste kampsporten"... Svensken sitter tyst och säger "öh... öh... vi har ett ord som heter lagom..."
yea we must be diffrent from others ,, we are the smartest.......how smart is it to test that ''hold the door open'' test at a door where it coming people all the time? at the fucking central of stockholm...
couldn't you choosen another door ???
and couldn't you choosen another city ,, like Malmö or Gothemburg...
Don't judge this wonderful country after this clip... oke ?
or maybe they all were weird or the goetsh and swedes mixed with "Other" nonindoeuropean" people, and picked the weird things from them not the samis though, they are not like that
Swedes are indeed different its a complete mystery that they have a mentally different from even norwegians wich are of the same stock, and also from the other germanic tribes, angles, jutes, frisians, dutch, germans...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is so true! swedes are so stupid: "dont sit next to me!"... i wont hold the door for you!... just a couple of examples of swedish arrogance and stupidity. really funny. talking about sweden as the best country on earth nad not even being capable of smiling on the streets... isnt that basic suff???
Don't worry. Swedes aren't the only people won't hold the door for others, this also happens in Hong Kong. I live in HK for several years and I used to hold the door myself. It's wierd in Hong Kong that some people hold the door for you.
Yes I think sitting near others you don't know is rather impolite, not only in Sweden, but I guess most people will sit alone rather than crowd with others.
Once I went to a Swedish ship Gotheberg, I really saw most crews wearing sunglasses, that's so cute!
Isn't it the fourth largest territory, don't forget Russia. I mean, only the Russian part in Europe are bigger than other countries in Europe. Or maybe they mean the EU?
pretty funny but i think the swedes is a lot different in the south.. no problem to start talking to anybody on the streets and the sausage is red but the most people eating kebab haha
Funny thing, that they chosed Stockholm for shootingplace, since Stockholm is (by swedes) known as the most rude city in sweden! Na, na, na... Gothenburg is the shit! At least down here, it's not very wierd to sit next to a stranger on the bus, and most of the poeple hold up the door, if someone is right behind them... But, you should probably not take this so seriously, as I can see some have... I mean, it's just a fun thing!
jag visste inte att dom inte höll upp dörrarna för andra det hr jag aldrig tänkt på det gör vi iaf i vår stad. det bästa va ju det i lutet om systembolaget, om det va billigare vad som kommer hända med oss då!
jag tycker inte att filmen är så jävla sanningsenlig, de e i alla fall överdrivet. Vadå "all Swedes think they live in the best country in the world"? Och ja har sett folk stoppa slagsmål många ggr. Och dessutom så är de här i Sthlm också, o sockholmare måste ju va de mest osociala, oartiga, otrevliga o tråkiga människorna i världen.
Jag håller alltid upp dörrarna och säger tack när någon håller upp den åt mig, jag bor utanför Stockholm och är helsvensk, så videon kanske inte är riktigt så pålitlig, appropå det där med att ingen ingriper i slagsmål så är det sånt som händer i hela europa.
desamma, jag är också alltid artig och respektfull mot folk så det är ganska frustrerande att få se att den personen som gjort videon fokuserar på den otrevligaste staden och därifrån formar de utlänningar som tittar på denna videons uppfattningar
Nu tycker jag detta är lite löjligt, för alla är inte som i Stockholm. Där jag är ifrån håller vi alltid upp dörrarna för folk som kommer bakom, vi ställer oss upp på bussen för äldre och är trevliga. Den dagen alla är som Stockholmare går detta land under...

Problem with the alcohol thing is that Swedish people don't get all of there alcohol from "Systembolaget" a lot comes from smuggling and private trips to Germany or Denmark.

haha, if the word "lagom" is perfect, then why not change "lagom" to perfect.

This clip is hilarious! I have Swedish ancestry, and perhaps this sort of behavior is passed down through lineage as well. If you found this video offensive, just rewind to the disclaimer at the beginning: it's a terrible, terribly funny documentary.

And why is Erkan not Swedish after having lived here for 15 years? He looks what? 17? Are you implying that behaviour is genetic? He's Swedish. The end.

Im just gonna say something here. (not knowing if or what you have been discussion). To be considered a swede by law your mother has to be born in sweden. Thats all there is to it..... But I personally would consider HIM a swede no doubt.

Yeah, that's true. :) Otherwise you're listed as "Swedish of foreign descent." ;D I think he's Swedish too. =) Swedish turks. <3 :D

I agree. It is infinitely annoying and backwards how people categorize "Swedes" merely by racial biological standards. If you live in Sweden and have a Swedish citizenship then you are Swedish! end of story.

About hair color, scandinavians have a more grey-blond and brown color in the hair than the germans. Blond was very common among the germans while in amongs the scandinavian it was more silver-blond and brown-blond. It´s hard to describe the color but my hair has a brown-blond color of some sort.

I'm a 100% swede and I'm not blond, I have dark hair and coloured skin. The swedes are mixed, there are cold swedes, there are warm swedes, religious, antireligious, nazis, antinazis.
They're humans, like any other, and can't be placed in one group.

joonte1010 3 years ago
But I am, I lived in sweden in all my life, and there are many coloured people in sweden.
Imhornydadcomeinside 3 years ago 2
" many coloured people in sweden."
many of them are foreigners, Im not colour.. I dont have dark hair. Sweden is the Country in the North (Europe) with the biggest ammount of Blonds.
I just wanted to point that out.
joonte1010 3 years ago
About that blond thing, do you really think that will even last? I mean don't expect Sweden to be blond when you have like over one million dark foreigners in your country, that's just stupid.
Yes, it's very nazistic to be proud of that blond thing, that's racism, not nationalism.
And I can tell you that I have seen a lot of dark haired and coloured people in Kiruna too, there are immigrants everywhere, so it won't last dude, I'm sorry.
Imhornydadcomeinside 3 years ago
Thats why its so sad. ANd about that Kiruna thing, its probably becaus so many of them have sami blood.
joonte1010 3 years ago
Haha go read a book or something -.- It's not nazistic to be proud about being blonde. I think my blonde hair makes me look good so now I'm a nazi? And I think it's cool that my country is the country with most blondes. So now I'm a nazi? I still think we should welcome foreigners and I have nothing against their looks or way of being. But yeah sure I'm a nazi cause I like being blonde! -.-

We're all human, that is absolutely true. But different races do exist and one is the germanic race which consist of different tribes.
One is the scandinavian and even among these nations there are differences which have formed or chaped these people.
They could be geographical differences, scarcity or abundance of food sources, climate or social differences.
Slimsoj 2 years ago
Over many thousands of years the people who have lived here from generation to generation must logically be regarded as ethnic swedes. To so easily dismiss this fact and simply say that being a Swede is just a matter of what your passport says is incorrect.
These sentiments robs a people of it's heritage and culture
Slimsoj 2 years ago
To take pride in your heritage and origin is a positiv thing and helps shape your self image and your place among other ethnicities and nations. To loose once herritage is to loose a part of your identity.
Slimsoj 2 years ago
Everyone, wether ethnicaly swedish or a swedish immigrant or both, should pursue their heritage so that they feel confident in who they are. People who lack this self-image often feel uncomfortable and lost. They feel they don't know what their "role" is in this society and shun/turn away from it. Knowing what you are and taking pride in it is essential for us all to live together without recentment.
Slimsoj 2 years ago
We should instead cellebrate our differences aswell as the things we share and take pride in the country we live in becaus we are all a part of it.

Men lagom finns visst i andra länder, det är bara larvigt snack... Tänk dig ett rum med en tjeck, en thailändare, en indier och en svensk.. Tjecken säger "Vi har gott öl!", indiern säger "Vi har gott käk", thailändaren säger "vi har grymmaste kampsporten"... Svensken sitter tyst och säger "öh... öh... vi har ett ord som heter lagom..."

this is so true! swedes are so stupid: "dont sit next to me!"... i wont hold the door for you!... just a couple of examples of swedish arrogance and stupidity. really funny. talking about sweden as the best country on earth nad not even being capable of smiling on the streets... isnt that basic suff???

Don't worry. Swedes aren't the only people won't hold the door for others, this also happens in Hong Kong. I live in HK for several years and I used to hold the door myself. It's wierd in Hong Kong that some people hold the door for you.
By the way are you really Swedish?

Yes I think sitting near others you don't know is rather impolite, not only in Sweden, but I guess most people will sit alone rather than crowd with others.

Funny thing, that they chosed Stockholm for shootingplace, since Stockholm is (by swedes) known as the most rude city in sweden! Na, na, na... Gothenburg is the shit! At least down here, it's not very wierd to sit next to a stranger on the bus, and most of the poeple hold up the door, if someone is right behind them... But, you should probably not take this so seriously, as I can see some have... I mean, it's just a fun thing!

jag tycker inte att filmen är så jävla sanningsenlig, de e i alla fall överdrivet. Vadå "all Swedes think they live in the best country in the world"? Och ja har sett folk stoppa slagsmål många ggr. Och dessutom så är de här i Sthlm också, o sockholmare måste ju va de mest osociala, oartiga, otrevliga o tråkiga människorna i världen.
svenskmotherfucker 4 years ago 2
Jag håller alltid upp dörrarna och säger tack när någon håller upp den åt mig, jag bor utanför Stockholm och är helsvensk, så videon kanske inte är riktigt så pålitlig, appropå det där med att ingen ingriper i slagsmål så är det sånt som händer i hela europa.
