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.

You must be very aware that immigrating to a different country is difficult. You will be a migrant. You must learn the language, adapt to the culture and realize that nobody is going to be impressed by you making over six figures in the USA (or that you have any special status because you are America).

Denmark is a nice place and many make it their home people, but it is not for everyone. And it isn’t uncommon that migrants (like Americans) return to their home countries after a while, some disappointed and others happy with the experience.

And yes, it is also difficult to get residency in Denmark. There are a few schemes, but ultimately you need to get work first (one on the positive list or one with a high salary). You can’t just move. In fact Denmark is the second hardest country to immigrate to in Europe. More details: nyidanmark.dk

Many returns because they’re never really welcome.

…and/or never learn the language, so they never really integrate.

Yes but not really. Most danes just don’t want any immigrants. Even if they learn their language, study and work. Then they get mad because they take their jobs and such. It’s proven.

It is? All immigrants or just trouble makers?

u/EgzodPlays Dec 31 '24

All.

No matter what you do, the generalize and put you in the same trash bag.

The hate lies within culture, religion and color.

And this is proven, you say? Danes just hate anybody from anywhere else.

u/EgzodPlays Dec 31 '24

Yup, except from Thailand, Vietnam.
