Hard to take the UN seriously – this is the organisation that just elected Iran to a 4 year term to their top women’s rights body … Iran!
Switzerland has systemic success issues. My message to the mountain Germans: reject racism, but do not allow foreign ways and political correctness to ruin your success.
>Landlocked Switzerland was never a colonial power but its banks, traders and municipalities invested heavily and benefited from the transatlantic triangular trade, the report said.
Which ended in Europe in 1807, and which the US ended in 1808 — over two centuries ago, when it was legal commercial activity…and 40 years *before* the modern nation-state of Switzerland would even be formed.
Not sure what the UN’s point is here.
Truly an issue worth the UN’s magnitufe.
LOL. Anything and everything is “systemic racism” these days. The word has lost its meaning.
What a bliss for a bureaucrat to investigate systemic racism in democratic and comfortable Switzerland instead of covering the very same issue in genocidal autocracies and extremely segregated oil-rich monarchies
Was anyone unaware of this? Seems more like Switzerland has systemic racism and doesn’t seem to have any issue with it.
It’s not systematic, but if you’ve ever lived in Switzerland as a non native swiss person, you probably experienced some xenophobia. It varies greatly from region to region, but many swiss people do have some questionably nationalist views.
What a joke
I’ve seen some very questionable political adverts from Switzerland which I feel would possibly cause riots if they were put up in my country, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to learn that this was true.
In other news: i found a quarter
>Swiss playground games persist such as “Who is afraid of the Black man?” that have a racially discriminatory effect, the experts said.
I can’t even… ffs, are they serious? What utter nonsense! That game has NOTING to do with Africans. A more fitting translation would be “who’s afraid of the dark man”, as in “shaddowy figure lurking nearby”. We played it as children many times, and nobody ever thought it was about Africans.
The two times I’ve been to Switzerland it’s not just racism – they hate all outsiders – forever. They just prefer other white people to “clean their toilets”
After reading the article I do not quite understand how they can say racism? Any country should be able to reserve the right to admit whoever they want. After all, it IS their country is it not? Honestly with the messes that have been happening in Germany and France with minority immigrants from war-torn areas causing destruction and mayhem and even rapes I can completely understand their reluctance to admit immigrants at all.
With Russia on the permanent council the UN is dead.
Still one of the best countries to live in. U.N. you have better things to do than this! Shame on you.
Nooooooooooo. Seriously???? /s
They should do the Arab countries they keep electing into the human rights council next. That would be interesting.
So… no chance for the UN to leave New York for Geneva?
Europe has a black problem.
It’s time to criminalize this Woke ideology
I wonder how the Balkan migrants are treated as they represent a big percentage of the foreign workers there.
Woke bullshit
What!?! against black people? I thought the French Swiss were bullying the Italian Swiss or something that was out of left field for sure
As a Swiss, i can’t and won’t take that serious. It is the usual thing, that such commissions have to do something to justify their jobs and salaries, so they’ll always criticize someone. In the case of Switzerland, there are a very high percentage of foreigners around, like in my city it is 32.4% of the population. And this stats only counts those who don’t have the passport aka citizenship.
There is of course some racism, there are some problems, yes, but no, it is not a ‘systemic’ racism.
Then, i’d like to tell you, that the game “Who is afraid of the Black Man” does refer to the plague in the medieval times, the plague doctor is the “Black Man”, not some guy from africa. So this is completely wrong.
There is also no “shocking police violence”, it is very rare that the police has to use force in any way, even more rare when they use the guns and fire a shot.
Last but not least, the UN includes some countries like Iran, Saudi-Arabia etc. in these comissions, which made the whole thing a bad joke. Countries that shoot on protesters or have still public executions etc. Maybe, the UN should take care of this before they come to my country.
Parts of Swizerland. NOT all of it.
​
It’s the least uiniform small country. They have different folk in all provinces. Diferent languages, tax levels, rules, etc..
There is nothing more racist than the UN. In fact you can blame all current racism on this corrupt organization.
Also, I’m amazed their internet connection works again.
Hey UN, what’s up with Taiwan? You there? Hello?
Totally RIGHT!!
Swiss people are racist and xenophobic… you notice their coldness when they meet a foreign POC
