racist swedes......'Frying Russians in Butter': Major Swedish Daily Under Fire for Spreading Hate Speech The cannibalistic remark made by the head of the Swedish Home Guard, Laura Swaan Wrede, sparked outrage on Twitter, where many users decried it for its hypocrisy, pointing out that the quote would have been perceived as horrendous if it were directed towards non-Russians. Dagens Nyheter, one of Sweden’s largest dailies, has found itself in hot water after Twitter branded the cover of its weekend supplement as “offensive content". The cover features a picture of Laura Swaan Wrede - the head of the Swedish Home Guard, who was interviewed by the paper - and it is accompanied by a quotation where she recounts that her grandmother used to say: "A Russian stays a Russian even if you fry him in butter." This expression sparked outrage on Twitter, where many said that Swaan Wrede would have faced dismal consequences had the quotation been about some other group than Russians. Some pointed out that “roasting humans in a pan” amounted to cannibalism. "In Toyland, you can be as stupid as you want and still become boss, apparently," one user said.
"I don't think the equivalent would go down well if it were said about a Jew, Roma or Arab," another one suggested.
