Oh come on!
To me multiculture is more important. I'd rather want Somalis and Pakistanis to come and watch, not only ethnic norwegians who enjoy christmas plays
Well, if those multi immigrants share your multi-views they would be glad to come and see your traditions, right?! I really can't understand how naive some Westerners are. Go to Paris, walk 500 m north from the Notre Dame, go to Brussels, walk 300 m from the main square and you will see the shining glory of the multi. The experiments are done already and the result is known - they don't share our values! End of story, they are here for money, not to learn about the Vikings. Here, in France, exactly 0 immigrants on Christmas Markets - why? It's shiny, it smells nice, why?
People from Yugoslavia (and Eastern-Europe) came to GER, FRA, SWE because those countries were ideal. We came to become you, not to bring our bad habits in new countries.
Yeah..We've had a lot of poles (polaks?) in Norway over the last 20-30 years. At first they seemed strange and had weird habits. But as we got more migrants from the third world, we realized something important. Even though the poles ate a lot of pork, drank a lot of vodka, listened to different music and decorated their homes very differently - we shared something deeper and more important - namely european culture. Or I would even go as far as to say - white culture.
All of a sudden we liked the poles. I woudn't say the became us..but things were put into context. Up until the 1980's Norway had been in a vacuum. There were literally NO immigrants. Perhaps 0,5-1% and most of them from the west.
In the 1990s immigration from Pakistan began, and it continued the next 10 years. After 2005 it took off, with new groups like Somalis, Afghans and other Africans. And that's when things started to change.
The poles who came here to work in the 90s and early 2000s didn't seem so strange anymore...:)
And in the future, there is perhaps us who have to go to Poland. Unfortunately many norwegians looked down on the hard working polak, because he was "simple" and only did carpentry.
On behalf of my country I would like to apologize to eastern europeans for my stuck up, cucked poltically correct cultural elitist morons that are my countrymen. I hope you accept this apology and let us in your country when time calls for it. :D
