in this thread: classic memes specific to your country

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzUiA9tjn6E

this video (the name "skogsturken" means "the forest turk") where a young man with middle eastern background almost gets hit by a frisbee and becomes aggressive, was first uploaded in 2006 and has since been viewed over 3 million times. i couldn't find one with english subs but i think you can get the gist of it. i think this is our most major meme.

everyone in this country below the age of 35 knows the quote "who threw that?! who was it?!!" - it's a reference that is probably still used daily

the suffix "-turk" has later been used for several other arab men featured in viral videos, like "the laser turk," or "the bird turk."

in 2012 politicians local to the area wanted to build a memorial in the forest to show it's cultural significance. it was discussed, but down voted because of fears over racism.

i think the videos popularity may lie in the effective way it shows the differences in temperament between native swedes and the new swedes, where the latter is more easily angered and concerned with honor, while the former understands that almost getting hit by a frisbee is no big deal and should be laughed off.

pls post more memes everyone :)
