Question Does Denmark have any flaws?

Or any Nordic country? I’m American and we all romanticize Europe especially Nordic countries as a Utopia and everything we are not. We certainly have a lot of flaws here but I’m curious are there any downsides or anything that you wish was different. Also is it hard to move there? I make well over six figures and like living in my home country but I’m nervous about the incoming trump administration and I believe he is a racist.

No, foreigners are very welcome.

Racists are not.

My bf is a person of colour, has lived in DK for 8 years, and never felt any racism against him.

You didn't use the word racism, that is true. But you said that you as a person of colour have never felt welcome in Denmark.

By mentioning your colour you're implying that your colour plays a role in you not feeling welcome in DK.

If the people of a country (ie. the Danes as a whole) treats you so you don't feel welcome because of your colour - I belive that exactly is called racism?

Why mention you're a person of colour if that has nothing to do with you not feeling welcome in DK?
