lolwut ? Who told you that ? I ' m from rural Denmark and there ' s surprisingly little racism for being pretty much backwater Denmark . Danes aren ' t for the vast majority racist in the way that they consider themselves above or for that matter others below them in terms of color . The few Danes you would consider racist , are not actually racist , they ' re discriminate ? I ' m not sure what the word is . They just don ' t like foreign people , because the media has been running scare campaigns for the better part of 15 years . My best friend since 5 was a black guy , and I still know him today . Danes aren ' t super racist , or even remotely racist in general . We ' re one of the most educated populations on the planet , and we don ' t teach our kids bigotry and racism as par for the course , nor do we for the vast majority force our kids into some form of religion that in any way shape or form promotes segregation . Denmark is honestly a safe as fuck place , with FREE education at all levels bar pilot afaik and a few select others . EDIT I ' ve heard some foreigners experience racism in Copenhagen . I myself am from Jutland and have lived in Aalborg for a long time , studying with international students as the only Dane . I ' ve never heard any of them complain about anything related to racism or discrimination , mostly just that the language was super difficult to understand . If anything we consider America extremely super racist .
