Zurich - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?

The Swiss are not racist. That would imply they discriminate people. They don't discriminate except between Swiss (=good) and not Swiss (=mwah). - May 2016


Its an aggressively xenophobic country. Lots of traditional Swiss people want to get rid of all foreigners and make the country purely Swiss.
