In a colour-blind Swedish society, mixed Swedes fall into the dichotomised binary of \u2018Swedes\u2019 and \u2018immigrants\u2019. The experiences of twenty-one interviewees with multiethnic and multiracial Swedes can be broadly categorised into three types: those who feel that they are not discriminated against or racialised, those who feel that they are not discriminated against <em>but<\/em> are racialised, and those who feel that they are <em>both<\/em> discriminated against <em>and<\/em> racialised. The analysis illustrates interviewed mixed Swedes\u2019 unique position in the racial hierarchy in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sweden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sweden<\/a> and how fluid their racial experiences are. Their different experiences also show how understandings of white and non-white racial groups are formed through the processes of racialisation and deracialisation in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idunn.no\/doi\/full\/10.18261\/njsr.13.1.5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HTML<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idunn.no\/doi\/pdf\/10.18261\/njsr.13.1.5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PDF<\/a> format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The analysis illustrates interviewed mixed Swedes\u2019 unique position in the racial hierarchy in Sweden and how fluid their racial experiences are.
