With immigration, opinions are more important than reality

That’s the subject of my latest column for Bloomberg. Rather than work through the argument, which would require you to read the entire column, I’ll just reproduce the most trollish part:

When I’m in a foreign city and I’m looking for interesting food, I have a strategy: In what place, I ask the locals, is it possible to get killed? In Stockholm, Rinkeby was the answer, even though most of the people I asked had never been there.

So I went to Rinkeby, which is non-White and mostly Somali. There were Yemeni, Ethiopian, Persian and other restaurants. (I had a nice chicken mandi at one called Maida.) I felt safe the whole time, and I saw lots of single women, including blonde Swedes, walking freely on the main street, and many women wearing headscarves. I saw a Western Union office and a driving school, signs that people have money to send or invest in a car.

I hope to write you a long post about immigration soon.
