This is a honest and candid review. People think the country with the highest standards of living is a wholly charitable entity. Ask the first generation Italians. Or Turkish. Or Sri Lankans. Albanians. Former Yugoslavs. Some 50% of German immigrants , notabene with the same education and language(minus the dialect) leave this alleged paradise within 1 year.

Same language, same education. Now add a different skin color to that and lack of speaking the language to that, then you might be able to grasp how these people felt there.

Of course there are some die hard open minded people there, not enough, though.

Sounds like I have nothing good to say about Switzerland? There are good aspects, I just blow a head gasket every time a person who has not lived there from early on and dealt with the institutions or does not have relatives there thinks it is a nation of innocence , milk(this is true, though) and honey. People are less likely to be beat up by a racist mob, that is not how it is done in Switzerland. The Swiss are silent sufferers and more sophisticated than that.

I simply think that classist amd racists are the blindest people walking earth.

Plenty of those in Switzerland. Ps even that direct democracy is a crock of manure.

A wise man once told me, the Nazis the communists amd other such opportunists ....in Switzerland they will have a smile and wear a suit.
