Denmark plans to limit 'non-western' residents in disadvantaged areas
www.theguardian.com
Interior ministry’s proposed limit of 30% part of bill to crack down further on poor neighbourhoods

This law would limit neighbourhoods to 30% "non-western" immigrants, which definitely means non-white. And then apparently they also have proposed laws for doubling the punishment for crimes committed in predetermined ghettos that are made up of mostly immigrants. Is this what "Scandinavian Socialism" means?

      I think the goal is for them to die or become assimilated. They previously suggested a mandatory curfew for "ghetto children" after 8pm, but it wasn't passed because it would be too hard to enforce (except some politicians suggested using ankle monitors to do so). If you wanna see what the intentions of these laws are look at the quotes from Danish people supporting these laws near the bottom of this article.

      Officially they will be assigned replacement housing. It sounds nice but they can be moved to the other part of the municipality, be assigned an apartment that is too small, where the rent is too high or that is placed far away from the schools and workplaces of the residents.

      This is not due to racist bias in the rehousing effort but simply because larger Danish towns lack cheap public housing. Municipalities has prioritised more expensive privately owned housing that attracts wealthier citizens and generates more taxes.
