    they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.

    I haven’t experienced that in the many years I’ve lived here. It is a humble group of people, seems to me. They also have tons of love for the other Scandinavian countries. You paint a picture of stuck up nationalists, and that’s pretty far from the truth.

      Ok but where are you originally from. Because they have a very short list of good countries. And a good many of them will say things like “yeah but you’re not one of those immigrants”. I’m not saying everyone is like this but a large number are, especially after a few beers.

      TBF, when I first heard of this I didn’t realise dude was a tromsøværing. He probably isn’t that way just young and dumb.

        Oh I’m American; I’m an immigrant here. I’m no expert on it. I’ve just lived here for several years and not witnessed that. That said, I’m probably in a bubble.

          When I first moved here as a Scot I was treated well but I was working an unskilled job and met a wide variety of people. Since transferring to academia there’s a lot less of it. But the states is on the good list for Norwegians. Which is probably why the little dude thought he would be fine and all the talk of fascism must be made up.
