In My Shoes

I got inspiration to this post after having the post Born Too Lose at another Swedish KAD's blog.
The link above is an abstract from a Swedish Korean adoptee and it is also an example of the emotions, stigma and social and societal pressure from society. And do believe I too feel the same, from time too time. But even more amazing is the comment that this blogger recieved from a Swedish citizens in pre election times.


Translation: Try to cheer up because if you don't then its possible that the Sweden Democrats (SD) will use you in their election propaganda. They would say; ungrateful, nagging immigrant, you should be sent home from where you came from. Your wellbeing is a garantee for a continued democratic and open Sweden. This should be a good enough reason to cheer up if not for your own wellbeing, right?

First of all international adoptees are not considered immigrants, that's a fact. Second, I think this fear of the Sweden Democrat's has been overexaggerated and a reaction similar to the one we now are experiencing is to be expected because of recession and high unemplyment in Sweden. Moreover, never, ever give an adoptee an advice if you're not a really close friend or fellow adoptee. Because it do become obvious that the reader isn't a adoptee and therefore can't understand many adoptee's ordinary struggles on a daily basis. That really makes me, so - so extremely angry.

Was the reader really scared of a new undemocratic Sweden or a believer of the Sweden Democrat's politics? I'm only asking...
