		<description>swedish racism
Nazi Connection

The following book tells us about Sweden&#039;s crucial role in supplying Nazi Germany iron ore and military facilities. Especially notorious 
for their support to the Nazis were the Wallenberg family, SEB bank and SKF factory. The Swedish government was responsible for the most
 iron ore the Nazis received. Kiruna-Gällivare ore fields in Northern Sweden were all important to Nazi Germany.
These massive deliveries of iron ore and military facilities from Sweden to Nazi Germany lengthened World War II. Casualties of the war
 have been estimated at 20 million killed in Europe. How many of them died due to Sweden&#039;s material support to Nazi Germany, is not known.

Gerard Aalders and Cees Wiebes The Art of Cloaking Ownership: The Secret Collaboration and Protection of the German War Industry by the 
Neutrals: The Case of Sweden.
The University of Michigan Press. 208 pp. 1996

Fritz, Martin. Swedish iron ore and German steel, 1939-1940. Scandinavian Economic History Review 21, no.2: 133-144. 1985.

Firms located in &#039;neutral&#039; Sweden supported the Nazis&#039; financial and industrial leadership. The case of Enskilda, a bank owned by the still
 powerful Wallenberg family, proved to be particularly interesting. Among other things, Enskilda acted as a cloak for the Nazi regime and helped 
important German corporations like Bosch, IG Farben and Krupp to hide their foreign subsidiaries in order to avoid confiscation by the Allied 
governments.

Resume in German:

Aalders, Gerard &amp; Berger, Susanne Der Kalte Krieg als Rettung.
Schwedens Nazi-Gold - Neue Einsichten in die Geschäftsbeziehungen der Familie Wallenberg zu Deutschland, 13 (1998) 1, S. 183-188 (Bericht 
aus dem Ausland)
Gerard Aalders und Susanne Berger befassen sich mit den Transaktionen der schwedischen Familie Wallenberg - nicht allein Schweizer machten
 lukrative Geschäfte mit dem »Dritten Reich«, auch andere profitierten vom deutschen Eroberungs- und Vernichtungskrieg.

In the book Stockholms Enskilda Bank and the Bosch Group, 1939-1950, the relations between the Bosch Group and the Stockholms Enskilda Bank 

(SEB) have been examined in connection with the economic role of neutral countries and Germany during World War II. The Swedish SEB purchased
 Bosch Group companies outside Germany during 1939-1940, creating an association with Nazi Germany which colored SEB&#039;s international reputation 
during the post-war years.

The Boston Globe published Walter V. Robinson&#039;s article Sweden Probes a Dark Secret (July 6, 1997).

But a darker chapter is being written now about the Wallenberg family and its extensive business empire, as Sweden confronts dismaying new
 evidence that the country&#039;s wartime collaboration was more extensive than is widely known, and that the Wallenberg family profited from secret
 dealings with the Nazis. For instance, documents from World War II contain evidence that Jacob and Marcus Wallenberg, Raoul&#039;s cousins, used their
 Enskilda Bank to help the Nazis dispose of assets seized from Dutch Jews who died in the Holocaust.

Swedish Racism

One of the eyeopening books dealing with Swedish racism is Finns in the Shadow of the &quot;Aryans&quot; written by Aira Kemiläinen. The nature of
 this racism is xenophobia towards other peoples such as Finns, Saami and Baltic peoples and even distant Asians (often called Mongols by the 
Swedish racialists, referring to Asians).

Kemiläinen, Aira. Finns in the Shadow of the &quot;Aryans&quot;: Race Theories and Racism. Helsinki: Finnish Historical Society, 1998. 320 pp., ill.


The founder of the organized Swedish racism was A.O. Freudenthal in the 19th century. Organized racialists awarded in the 20th century a medal 
named after Freudenthal. Here is a list of the Freudenthal medalists.

The Time published on September 22, 1997 James Walsh&#039;s article Unnatural Selection.

Yet the eugenics program that authorized sterilizations of &#039;social undesirables&#039;, begun in 1935, continued long after the war, persisting until 
an agency that called itself chillingly the National Institute for Racial Hygiene died a quiet death in 1976. In postwar decades when Social
 Democratic Sweden considered itself a citadel of enlightenment and tolerance, the country was silently pursuing principles of racial purity 
long since discredited in most of the world. During those 41 years, some 60,000 Swedes were sterilized as misfits who did not meet the ideal of
 the blond, blue-eyed, intelligent Scandinavian.

Genocide suggested by Nesselius

Swedish professor I. Nesselius suggested in 1708 - 1711 a genocide of the Finns. According to Nesselius&#039; plan the Finns would have been replaced by
 the Swedes everywhere in Finland, except in Lapland. There 3 per cent of the Finns were to be left as a historical relic. Th

		<description>What do you mean by our salty licorice?
It was already used by the Romans and the Egyptians way before Finland even existed.
And nowadays loads of the stuff one can buy in Finland is our Dutch salty licorice aka Drop.(Which is a good thing!). 
Nowadays we can also buy Finnish Panda in Holland.
Your reaction is typically Finnish. Finns can&#039;t take criticism on things concidered Finnish very well.And that is an understatement!</description>

		<description>i just got back from helsinki &amp; stockholm, where i saw this candy and heard about swedish &quot;negro&quot; balls.  so i went looking for information...(i see that this post is old).  anyway, in the US we are extremely &quot;politically correct&quot; and to see this type of packaging was kind of unbelievable.  to me, there seems to be two points to note.  one, is on the idea/virtue of being &quot;politically correct&quot; in the first place and the other is of whether these candies are offensive/politically incorrect.

to the former, i am a firm believer that if we say and show that we believe something - even if we don&#039;t - that that impacts others (especially young people who are more impressionable).  for example: i have a lot of gay friends who are offended to hear the word &quot;gay&quot; used in slang to mean &quot;dumb&quot; or &quot;bad.&quot;  they know that the people saying them aren&#039;t necessarily prejudice or whatever, but it perpetuates a false connection.  if we stop saying it, future generations might not have as negative feelings on the homosexual community as we have now.  i think small changes, like product branding, can make all the difference.  people interact with consumer products in their everyday lives, while they see or encounter major forces of political change very seldom.

to the second point, i think the images on the candy are offensive based on points such as 20 and 60 - those that point back to a time when we depicted people of african decent in a very specific, degrading, and inferior way.  not just big-lipped or dark-skinned, but that they were more animalistic or clownlike (see the blackface link in comment 20).  i do not, in any way, think that the basis of these images is a contemporary view of tribal life.  anyway, this may not have the same cultural roots in finland as in the united states, i don&#039;t know.  images like these, as an american, have a very racist feeling.  here is an interesting link to a museum near my hometown that looks at these types of images (many of which are from the same era): http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/jimcrow/menu.htm

anyway, that&#039;s my two-cents.  i am not finnish and my opinions would likely vary if i were.</description>

		<description>What about the Geisha candy which implies that Japanese women are prostitutes? Or the Elovena package which implies that Finns are still rustic farmers? :-)</description>

		<description>In regard to comment 57:

The issue is not whether or not certain Africans still dress in traditional garb, but rather, the dissemination of their image as such and its pejorative connotations.  I seriously doubt that the product makers were hoping to enlighten us with the dress customs of various African tribes, but rather playing upon stereotypical, racist imagery which has been created in an effort to enforce the belief of &quot;black&quot; inferiority.  I&#039;m sorry that you&#039;re such an ignorant fuck that you are unaware of the subjugation of African peoples at the hands of European oppressors.  You&#039;re a dickhead and I sincerely hope that one day you use your brain to think instead of mindlessly defending an inane position.  It is not a question of right or wrong, but ethics and history.  Btw, no one likes you.</description>

		<description>Suomen mies:   I should also add that in my use of the term &quot;primitive&quot; I meant first (or early) and indigenous, I suppose, according to the first definition in the Oxford American Dictionary (I double-checked the dictionary before posting in order to be precise).  I didn&#039;t at all mean it as a pejoritive.  Therefore, I was speaking directly to the native dress of living indigenous cultural groups, not to the dress of generalized archaic hominids and early humans (as you said, &quot;cavemen&quot;).  Again, my apologies.</description>

		<description>&quot;Iiris, do your research before opening your ignorant mouth. There are several African tribes who still wear their traditional, primitive costumes.

By the way, are you really saying (as you suggest in post 55) that white people would be offended by a box of crackers with a picture of a white caveman on the cover? ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s absurd! Are you eight yours old, or what?&quot; --Suomen mies

Suomen mies:  I apologise; I was unclear--I was trying to make a humorously ironic commentary on the situation (saying that the whole was silly in a way--I have a rather dry sense of humor). Obviously, it was poorly made and received; I am so sorry I offended you.  

So, NO--I was NOT suggesting that &quot;white&quot; people would be offended by that.

And, YES, I am well aware that a number of African tribes (as well as many other peoples around the globe) continue to wear their traditional dress.  Nevertheless, I do find the label a bit innapropriate, but I do not think that is mal-intentioned by the manufacturer (but that&#039;s just my opinion).</description>

		<description>&quot;The imagery seems to date from a rather less sensitive period and they probably draw on earlier, international models from an unashamedly racist era. The intent may not be racist, but the sources are.&quot; -prince of dorkness

I absolutely agree.</description>
