\"SwedenPicture\"<\/a>After months of waiting I was lucky enough to be given a start time for the V\u00e4tternrundan bike ride in Sweden. 300km in 24 hours, starting at 11.45pm and riding all night round a giant lake.<\/p>\n

I got through the ballot, so it was time to look at flights & accommodation etc. Flight \u00a3200, ride entry \u00a3125, accommodation approx \u00a360 a night. \u00a0.. \u00a0.a bit expensive but I gotta spend money to make money for next years Tahlia Banks Awards I suppose. Hooooooold on I thought to myself . .. \u00a0Is Sweden safe for a person with Black skin? Let me Google that real quickly before I book.<\/p>\n

You what!!!!?? Sweden is the 3rd racist country in Europe! \u00a0Well, looks like I won’t be doing the ride anymore. There are no hotels in the area of the ride as everywhere is fully booked. So it would be an AirBnb thing – and I’m supposed to share a house with strangers in Europe’s 3rd most racist country? ‘Shut the front door!’<\/p>\n

Europe’s most racist countries list goes like this:<\/p>\n
