Swedish Left Pushing for ‘Skin Color Registry’ to Weed Out Discrimination

The Swedish Left Party has urged the Nordic nation’s Statistics Bureau to start collecting data on citizens’ skin color, ethnicity and religion. The decision to do so was taken at the party congress against the will of the party board, national broadcaster SVT reported.

The motion on “equality data” is designed to eliminate discrimination and bias by identifying the vulnerability of different groups. According to the Left MP Daniel Riazat, one of the masterminds behind the motion, there is no problem whatsoever collecting this sort of data based on the grounds of self-identification and anonymity.

“The most important thing is to have evidence when talking about structural discrimination,” Riazat told SVT, brushing aside the risk of the statistics being misused.

“I’m proud to be an anti-racist speaker in a party that pushes for putting anti-racism in the foreground,” Höj Larsen said, stressing the necessity of highlighting issues such as ethnicity in terms of discrimination.

Incidentally, the very same Left Party vehemently opposes the idea of re-introducing the practice of recording criminals’ ethnicity, which was effectively abandoned in the mid-2000s as “unethical.” Calls to resume “ethnic profiling” started rolling in amid the speculated prevalence of foreign-born citizens in certain crimes, such as sexual assault. According to Riazat, these are completely different debates, despite striking similarities.

“Linking crimes with ethnicity or religion is racism. This debate has been discarded a long time ago,” Riazat explained.
