Funny thing about Norway is it used to be hideously poor compared to the rest of Europe. Norwegian immigrants flocked to the US and were viewed w suspicion here. Now Norway's rich (thanks partly to oil) and some evidently want more Norwegians + fewer people from poor countries.

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but
@IbrahimOShukry was right, Swedes were discriminated against in the 19th century US.https://twitter.com/Sonnenmensh/status/1362636124431163392?s=20 …
I grew up in Norwegian rural Minnesota and I can tell you they weren't, not unless the word "discriminated" is stretched to an absurd limit to accommodate the mildest kind of teasing: Norwegians also make fun of Swedes for being stupid, it's not a nativist thing.

I wasn't alive back in the 19th century, I just state what I've read. ofc it didn't last long and Scandis assimilated rather quickly.
