Comments on matters of interest to me: multiculturalism, integration and ethnic relations in Canada and Sweden and public administration as well as teaching at the post-secondary level.

The debate on collective rights continues....
Now, it is Halldorf, Ph.D. Candidate in theology at the University of Uppsala, who chimes in. He argues that the majority culture can be in the wrong and that it is important to remember that dominant points of view are not neutral just because they are dominant. This is, of course, quite correct, and a welcome reminder in the debate. It is also key to understand how ethno-centrism can shape the public discourse, and it is only when this is recognized that such phenomena can be properly taken into account.
