Nothing that reminds me more of like Positive Association in Sweden.
00:00:04.100
It's everybody's graduating studenten, we call it.
00:00:08.640
It's summer, it's getting warm, it's a long break coming up.
00:00:11.980
It's like it's the best time to be in Sweden kind of thing, right?
00:00:15.100
Long summer break, long, wonderful nights and stuff like that.
00:00:18.720
And now, of course, because of our wonderful diversity and addition,
00:00:23.080
our spicy additions to the country, now, of course,
00:00:25.660
we have a lot of non-Swedish people celebrating studenten.
00:00:30.000
That's why we're choosing Eritrea's flag to celebrate our graduation.
00:00:42.620
I'm glad they're not like embracing Sweden, right?
00:00:46.580
We want them not to merge and integrate with Sweden.
00:00:50.200
It's going to be easier for us if they consider themselves outsiders than insiders,
00:00:54.740
but a lot of the normally conservatives are like,
00:00:58.140
And so, again, we're agreeing with liberals for the wrong reason.
00:01:09.420
They come, presumably she's talking about her parents here.
00:01:15.960
And so we're showing a kind of respect back to those people.
00:01:20.060
You want to celebrate your parents that came from a different country
00:01:31.400
and have fought their way to Sweden to do everything that's possible for them
00:01:37.900
so that us, meaning these girls, get the best possible life, essentially.
00:01:54.480
Yeah, I'm not sure if these gals are born in Sweden
00:01:57.740
because we know that that doesn't make them Swedish.
00:02:00.340
But it's fascinating to see which side they choose.
00:02:15.940
and why don't you want to bring the Swedish flag
00:02:20.760
Because you want the flag from where your roots are from,
00:02:34.040
This is them showing we're here and we're taking over.
00:02:44.960
You made sure that we got all these wonderful things
00:03:08.520
I guess it's the best translation I can think of.
00:03:10.860
It feels close to carry this flag, the Eritrean flag.
00:03:18.860
But that's not enough for me to bring the flag,
00:03:45.580
But it's just, it's to spit in the face of Swedes.
00:04:03.060
I just wonder why you don't have the Swedish flag.
00:04:52.080
and therefore we don't want to celebrate Sweden.
00:05:28.140
doing whatever the hell they want on our streets.
