Copenhagen - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
Danes are a fairly homogeneous society and the term “4th generation immigrant” is a common way to describe people who have been living in Denmark for generations. Overt racism is not common, but subtle racism is very normal. - Aug 2024
I haven't seen any prejudice but many Danes are anti-immigration. It is difficult to make friends with locals but there are many expats in the city. - Feb 2022
Not really. Danes are pretty homogenous and have normally grown up with all their friends. It's hard if not impossible to break into that inner circle unless you're coming here to marry a Dane. They are often regarded as cold but I would describe them as blunt. They will tell you to your face, "why would I make friends with you when you're just going to leave in X years". If you're middle eastern or look it, I wouldn't come here. - Jun 2021
