  5. In Sweden and Europe, people of color and non-European people face racism and discrimination in college. This discrimination is pervasive and can take many forms, from subtle exclusion to outright violence and abuse. People of color and non-European students may experience discrimination in terms of access to resources, including educational opportunities, job opportunities, and other resources. They may also experience microaggressions, such as being ignored in class, being overlooked for promotions or rewards, or being dismissed as not belonging in certain spaces. This discrimination can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression, which can have a negative impact on mental health. Additionally, people of color and non-European students may face a higher rate of disciplinary action or be subject to greater surveillance by college authorities. Furthermore, people of color and non-European students may also be the targets of hate speech and other forms of harassment, from both their peers and from college faculty or staff. This can create an environment in which they feel unwelcome and unsafe, leading them to avoid certain settings or activities. This can limit their overall experience in college and hinder their academic and social growth. The discrimination and racism experienced by people of color and non-European students in college can have lasting and damaging effects, both during their college years and into adulthood. It is essential that colleges take proactive steps to create an environment that is welcoming and inclusive to all students, regardless of race or ethnicity. This includes providing resources and support to help students cope with racism and discrimination, educating the campus community about diversity and inclusion, and developing policies to protect all students from discrimination.
