Racism among Danish far-right politicians is jaw dropping.

Running for reelection to parliament is Mikkel Bjørn, a member of Dansk Folkeparti, who recently used the official parliamentary processes to ask our Minister of Integration if a 17-year-old girl could be denied citizenship based on the fact that her last name was “Arab”, arguing she should “move back to her home country where such a lastname would be appropriate”.

Curiously, his own party leader goes by the German name Messerschmidt.

@randahl It's honestly disgusting how far right reach has gotten.

I mean, I get it. Us against them, keep people scared so they're easier to control … <long digital sigh>
