Controversies

China incident

On 21 September 2018, Svenska Nyheter hosted by Rönndahl broadcast a segment making fun of a Chinese family claiming police mistreatment during a trip to Stockholm, while the end of the segment featured a short "informational film for Chinese tourists" dubbed in Chinese, which featured a variety of perceived racist stereotypes against Asians in Sweden, such as public defecation and dog-meat consumption.[3]

gollark: Well, enjoy.
gollark: I have a recipe dump from CraftTweaker. It's just horrendously formatted for any sort of use.
gollark: I do not want to parse that.
gollark: The format is *horrible* but it works.
