alt Hacker News> Brown people existing doesn't hurt you.
In Sweden, brown people are heavily overrepresented in violent crime, so many people are getting hurt.
Obligatory disclaimer: the problem is not caused by skin color, but by a complex mess of poverty, lack of opportunity, societal attitudes within and against immigrant groups, etc. But voters hearing about a steady drum beat of robberies, rapes, drive by shootings (yes, in Sweden!) don't really care.

Perhaps voters aren't being offered the tools to solve the root problems?
Scapegoating entire skin colors for systemic failures doesn't seem like it's going to make things better for anyone.

Culture's a thing too. If you admit a bunch of Somali warlords they may keep behaving like Somali warlords irrespective of the other factors you mention.
