    It’s probably not even thought about due to chattel slavery not being a thing in Sweden. There was slavery in some of its colonies, but it was never a part of their mainland society.

    Couple that with the racial diversity of Sweden having fewer than 1% black people, there’s so little representation that any offense probably isn’t even being heard.

      Sorry, where are you getting your statistics from? The 1800s?

        Wikipedia has it at 1.5-2% but that’s only for people born in Africa who immigrated to sweden, it doesn’t include natural born citizens, so that’s probably where they got their info from.
