What started as a conversation about some Swedish people not offering dinner to houseguests erupted into a debate about the culture and history of Sweden as a whole.
"When people realize that sweden is the bigger giver of donation to other countries by capita," one user argued in a now-deleted tweet."Biggest immigration last decade with real benefits. Pensions as large as if you worked here all life to immigrants. But no. We must be racists."controversy is so overblown and dumb. & actually says a lot on how bigotry goes both ways.
Various other users added their two cents to the hashtag, highlighting how the country has welcomed asylum seekers at high rates in the past. "The #Swedengate controversy is really weird to me because Sweden; has one of the largest welfare states on the planet," , adding that the country"takes in nearly as many refugees per year as the USA , and donates nearly 1% of it’s GNI as development aid .", Sweden is the world's largest donor in proportion to the size of its economy, and in 2020 spent 1.14% of its gross national income on official development assistance.
