Maybe I've just been unlucky and come across the wrong people but here are some things that left me a bit disturbed tbh - medical staff demanding to know if I'm Polish or Ukrainian in the middle of a big medical procedure where I am already in tears and in pain - easier to get things done at banks and other admin places if you call the customer service number and speak (good) Swedish - first thing that anyone asks in any social interaction is "Where are you from and what are you doing in Sweden?" Might not be malicious, but it's starting to grate on my nerves. Where I am really from is probably the least interesting thing about me. And by the way, I am originally from another Nordic country and look Western European. I can only imagine what it's like for someone who looks different.
