No that's just you. You are making the same ridiculous claim as the documentary creators when trying to project your opinion on "the public".

Except this is my personal opinion and I clearly do not claim that all Swedes share it.

Swedes, especially online, are often racists. Sweden is a really racist country. In b4 one of these very racist comes and loses their shit.

Uh huh. Stated as fact, not opinion. With the added insinuation that disagreeing with you makes one racist.

I call it like I see it, and gauging by the reaction you're getting so does the rest of the sub.

Forming your own opinion based on actual experience > Forming your opinion based on how popular it is and what you assume to be true. Have a good day!

forming your own opinion on a nation of people based on multiple sources and viewpoints > forming your own opinion on a nation of people based only on personal anecdotes

I’ll assume that voting polls would suffice as proof that my viewpoints override the racist ones, since non-racist parties keep getting more votes than they do.

And again, my home country IS Sweden.

What the heck am I reading?

That sounds like some canned response you haven't even thought through. When talking about interpreting someone's polemic the perception and experience is one and the same.
