da but we believe we're really equal and open minded but we're really narrow when it comes to religion. it's not very common to be open about your religion and people can look down on you if you're religious (this goes with christianity too)
da but we're traditionally very bound by jante's law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jante_law), as well as ig percieved as pretty timid and bland. then again idk how much of this still remains/is just stereotypes.
as anon above said we're really close minded when it comes to religions, to starters. (the average swede's attitude about religion is something like "gtfo with your faith".)
we so also, together with the other scandinavian countries, have an unofficial thing called "jantelagen" that's basically about how people shouldn't believe that they are anybody, which could be good ig but only makes people into passive-aggressive buttheads.
and this is only a theory i've seen a few ppl having begun to talk about, there's some residues from our days as leading race biologists when it came to eugenics that affects our views on ourselves as swedes which relates to modern day immigration politics and conflicts. (but i can't really say that i know enough to talk too deeply about this lol, but please don't think that we're all crazy racists now. ;;)
