Denmark is the most racist country I know

I only visited Canada once, but one of my uncles lived and worked there for decades, and I know it is very different from the Nordic countries. I lived in Denmark for more than two and a half years and it is the most racist country I know, although all Nordic countries share this and other traits, like the lack of true freedom to think, dress, etc. the way you want. If you stand out in any way, you're labelled "anti-social", "anti-Danish" and so forth. Their Janteloven (non official, but actually enforced equality law) permeates everything. They also sweep a lot of things under the carpet, because those societies are way more violent and corrupt than they care to admit. For example, for many decades, in each one of the the three Scandinavian countries (with a population of about five to ten million each) they've had about 70-100 women murdered per country and year by male partners and ex-partners (mostly pure Scandinavians), but hey only mention that a couple of times a year. In Spain, where I come from, we've never made it to more than about 70 women per year (about half of them killed by foreigners, some of them European), with a population between 38 and 47 million over the last decades. Every single case is a tragedy, but their hypocrisy is unbelievable.
