e-mailed me and asked. It was only a couple of days bfeore and I said Ok. I think that the people at Visit Sweden are pretty cool, how they are managing the project. It is really awesome. The amount of followers doubled during your week. The attention, but also the criticism, came when you started to tweet on the theme that you did not know anything about Jews. Why did you do it?I have a hard time knowing when something is controversial, and a hard time knowing what is okay to talk about. This also applies to parties and other social events. I think those sort of things are hard. I do not think that the things I wrote on twitter were controversial. But abroad it seemed to be very infectious to use the word Jew at all, unless you do it with the utmost care. New York Times, BBC, CNN, well several of the worlds largest newspapers and tv-stations reported about your tweets. How did you handle it?Yea, I do not really know which newspaper that did not brought it up. They had reacted on different things, someone called me anti… anti…, I can barely pronounce the word… antisemitic. Then there were others who called me uneducated, who thought I should have read a book instead. BBC even called me a Justin Bieber-hater because I had written that in Sweden we accept Justin Bieber-fans. It all came from me reading american forums where JB-fans get a lot of crap and what I said was that it is not like that here in Sweden. How did it feel like to be questioned?It felt as if, okay, I did not know about this, what was I suppose to do about it . I was pretty surprised personally that I did not care more about it. They attacked me because there were things that I did not know. But I already knew that I did not know these things. If you are antisemitic only because you do not know anything about jews, well what am I supposed to do then?Visit Sweden defended you and did not think that you had crossed the line. On the other hand they said that they already knew bfeorehand that you were controversial. Are you?It is very rarely that someone gets upset with me on my blog, so I do not think that is true in my opinion. Although I think you should be able to talk about anything. Then again it also depends on how you talk about it. But sure, there already seems to be certain things that you are not allowed to talk about at all, it just ends up wrong no matter what angle you choose. A lot of people are probably scared of losing face and seem ignorant. You?Not at all. I am not even afraid to be called a racist. I would rather put out my thoughts and risk to be accused of things than to sit around and hold things in if I for example was wondering about something. A lot of people have called me dimwitted and stupid, but I only feel like alright, feel that way . It is probably Swedes who have been angriest because they have been ashamed what a horrible view I have given of Sweden. A lot of people got upset when I wrote that I had found drugs in the baby-carriage room in my house. Have you gotten any reactions on the streets of Kunge4lv?It was one person who asked me to sign up for Amnesty. When I said no the person said Wow, you are hejsonja . That is it. What have you brought along with you after the week as @Sweden?There has really been a lot that has been good about it. People have written to me and I have gotten to learn much about other countries and about jews as well for that matter. It all has been very nice. I have learned a lot and I would not take way anything.You are going home to Vilhelmina this summer. What is the first thing you are going to do once you get there?The first thing I usually do is to stop by Frasses and buy hamburgers. They have several great fries-seasonings, which is kind of their speciality. But that is not what will happen this time around. I will probably head straight to my sister. She is very healthy and she says that my favorite-spice contains ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) substances so I can not eat it anymore. Except going home to Norrland you do not really enjoy traveling. How come?There is so many things you have to think about. Packing, flight-times and there is always something that you have forgot. There are still places in Kunge4lv that I have not yet visited. Do I really need to travel to Thailand in that case?No tropical island you are longing for?Nah, it mostly seem hot and hellish in my opinion. What will you be doing in five years from now?I have a hard time planning, even a day ahead. But I would like to work with radio, sketches, preferably along with other people who are inspiring and fun. Who could that be?I really like Klungan and Moms new guy. Other then that I like Bjf6rn Gustavsson, he could also possibly get to be an extradad for my children. And other then that I think that the comedian Jennie Wiberg and I have talked some about taking over the world from a trailer-van.We end the interview with a lunch at the sushibar Gari in Kunge4lv, a place that Sonja likes. She breaks her fortune cookie apart and roll up the little note which was placed inside. It promises that something big is on its way: Your skill will accomplish what the skill of many others can not.
