Racism is widespread in Sweden, but much of it goes unreported

Swedish recruitment experiments found that applicants with Arabic-sounding names had less chance of being called to interview than equally qualified applicants with Swedish-sounding names. In a housing study, male applicants with Swedish-sounding names received more than twice as many viewing invitations as men with Arabic-sounding names. These are not misunderstandings or isolated insults. They are measurable disadvantages in access to work and housing.
