Re: Sweden gives Eurovision a "refugee crisis theme"
I am shocked and disgusted by the level of aggressivity and hate in many of the posts here. How easiliy the word "hater" is used in this forum when somebody says something harmless like: "i don't like song x". The true meaning of the word becomes real in this thread: generalizations, rumors, home tailord explanations for the crisis on the level of first graders or low level boulevard papers, prejudices, non proven accusations.
There is so much cynism and intolerance, its just repugnant
Some of those who make fun or accuse refugees belong to people from which quite a number of members were themselves refugees not so long ago as for instance Hungary. Just a brief reminder....
Some of those may have forgotten how they praised themselves of their tolerance two years ago when Conchita won and despised intolerance from Rusdia and Belarus. Where is your tolerance now?
Some of those may also have forgotten all the prejudices they were victome of for whatever reason, perhaps for instance all the slendering and false accusations gay people are exposed to so often? Didn't you fight generalizations and prejudices then? Why are you doing the same thing in reverse now?
I'm not saying this is an easy situation, I'm not saying all the refugees are good and everyone who has an uneasy feeling about what is about to come are dumb racists, I'm not saying there haven't been made errors, I'm not saying this is not a very problematic situation with aspects that are even dangerous.
But could you please stop being so hateful and cynical?
Grab yourself a coursebook for english, german, french or whatever and go to the next NGO and offer to help refugees to learn your language. just once a week. You'll do more to help solve the problem and prevent us from dangerous developments than displaying all of this simplified rubbish here.
(And yes, I'm working already with 3 afghans, 2 iraqi and 2 syrian refugees to learn german. And I hope they never have to read what you globally write here about "the refugees" in general, meaning them as well.)
Don't bother to answer to this post.
