He didn't say black people, did he?
That's the problem. His issue is with a lack of racial diversity, not with a race.
That's like me saying I prefer trail mix over simply eating a container of only cashews or peanuts. That doesn't mean I don't like them, merely that I don't want only them.

People discriminate every single day. You discriminate based on what you eat, where you shop, and who you screw.
Mind you, I have no idea who that dude is, and he may be racist. But, wanting to live in a diverse neighborhood doesn't make someone racist.
If you refuse to acknowledge the racial issues because you're over in Sweden and utterly ignorant of them... you probably would fail to get the implicit understanding of "why" that most people would already get.
If I go to a Dominican person and say "I wouldn't live in Clark... it is 98% white..." do you think the issue is that they're white or that? Or do you think the issue is the expected racism we expect from the area? Hint: it is the latter.
I don't thnk you understand what "racist" means.
"I don't like to live in non-diverse areas because I'll expect to face some racism."
you: that's racism!!
quite different.. I don't like any monolithic area
I've faced issues though different ones depending on "which" monolith is there.
How about racism? The police being implicated in crimes against minorities and harassing people who are non-white? That's not a reason? Such privilege you ooze.

Oh come the fuck off it.
"Oh my god how could you say you would avoid areas because they're not diverse! That's discrimination"
Come live my fucking life then to see what actual discrimination is like before spouting off foolishness.
The two "people" I've quoted above perfectly show my issue with this denmark quota...
Ignorant people who don't know shit about the issues minorities face and go as far to say that avoiding areas that arne't diverse because of issues they face is itself racist and then give us some crocodile white tears as if anyone gives a shit.
If you don't understand why there is self segregation and how the host populace contributes to it... kindly show you're way out.?
Cease derailing and pull it back in. Misunderstanding cleared, just be more mindful of your phrasing.

I would say that this doesn't make you (or Themius) racist, nor am I saying that it's your fault that these areas are segregated.
However, it plays a part in segregation. If more "outsiders" were willing to move into the "ghettos" it would help people and cultures integrate with each other.

I love the idea of integration. My concern is the use of government to force it. That carries so many risks, and could even make things worse... all at the expense of liberty.
I think many of us have noticed that trying to force things onto people only makes them hate it more, and causes even more resistance.

And yet, people want to force exactly that. They also want to force people to move.
Lol omg you're totally clueless on these issues aren't you? The higher likelihood of crime isn't one of the "demographics" however. It rarely ever is... creating quotas to force integration doesn't address why there was segregation to begin. If the segregation is based on the group not being able to integrate, "why" weren't they able to? Why have people continued to put the onus of integration on the immigrants while summarily ignoring history that has shown time and time again how successful integration goes is upon the host populace's acceptance of the immigrants
This isn't a fucking new issues do you need a 2000 years history lesson or something to see the same repeated shit age in and age out? The very fact people can't look to history to see how we are still facing similar issues today is disgusting. Especially when they behave as if this is new and never happened before and "omg we have no idea what to do it must be xyz" like it is amazing that those people never get sick of being wrong...
Me thinks, you lie.

What makes a ghetto a ghetto? I mean... there are some Areas here that people have considered ghettos. Despite it having lower crime than the average, and a high degree of privately own businesses by the high immigrant population. It was "ghetto" because it was very brown though.
I'd move to a place like that.
You seem to be mixing a lot of stuff. Housing legislation is what Denmark is enforcing. That doesn't equate to "embrace our culture". It's literally just that, rules about housing. Yes, the integration is a part of the motivation (and preventing Ghettoism), but it's not Embrace our culture or else, it's follow our housing rules or else. They can do that. Unsurprisingly, the Government has the authority to tell you what type of building to build. You'd be surprised but the whole legal system concerning the construction of buildings is probably one of the most complex legal rulesets apart from taxation, possibly.
I mean, I know you have no clue about all of that and keep arguing against the emotions you felt when you read "immigrant" somewhere in the headline, but really this is a hopeless case for you. Unlike you just repeating words over and over again, I come at you from all kinds of angles, because everytime you create a post and repeat yourself, I think of a new way to slap you down. It's entertaining to some degree, I admit but really it just shows that you have no case.

No. He was right, there is no law enforcing that you embrace the culture. That's you making shit up. And housing rules are enforced all over the planet, THIS IS NOT NOTEWORTHY.

I remember France being an issue some... 15 years ago... this isn't a "new" issue and "all over the world" doesn't negate the issue lol.
That's like saying what the Hindu extremist government of India is doing to Muslims is okay because what the Buddhist extremist in Burma are doing is okay because of what the CPC is doing in China is okay because... because because....
I'd also never move to Alabama or most towns in Texas.
What's your point?

And yet, the topic has come up, and its exactly what people want to enforce. From the OP
"The interior minister, Kaare Dybvad Bek, said in a statement that too many non-western foreigners in one area “increases the risk of an emergence of religious and cultural parallel societies”."
Their legislation is authoritarian, and thinly-veiled racism.
Good luck with those straw men!
