I don't think I can write anything that's particularly clear or articulate about how strongly I dislike the UDC. On a very sad note, I take German classes at the local Migros school every week. During one of the lessons, we were learning about basic Swiss history, geography, politics, etc. Well, the teacher was unintelligent enough to let it slip in a classroom full of (white, university-educated, Christian) foreigners that he supported the UDC. He was baffled when we all criticized his political leanings, saying, "But you're the kind of foreigners we don't mind here!" Yeah. I'm supposed to be glad that you discriminate against people, as long as you don't discriminate against me. Jerk. Wow. I don’t think I can write anything that’s particularly clear or articulate about how strongly I dislike the UDC.

Safiya, I understand there is technically some sort of law agaist racial hatred but the problem is, as is often the problem in Swissyland, different cantons apply the laws differently. Some may not have this law, I don't even know. What I do know is that in any case, it isn't as wide or far-reaching as the French incitation against racial hatred law. salam alaikoum

Problem is that most other countries will stop giving citizenship after the family hasn't lived there for that long. So there are many people in the situation of not having citizenship anywhere!
