So I'm xenophobic for worrying about parts of Malmö where the post office and global carrier services such as DHL no longer operate because they can't guarantee their workers safety and where even the police can't go without the equivalent of a SWAT team? That just doesn't belong in Sweden, no matter how you try to justify it.

Yeah, you probably are.

I live in Malmö; the "problem area" you're talking about is a couple of blocks by Seved, where one company (Postnord) won't deliver _large_ packages due to the possibility of theft. That's not "the police can't go there". That's not "DHL can't guarantee worker safety". I've walked these streets hundreds of times; they're no different than thousands of other streets in thousands of other cities. They're not especially dangerous. They are in fact probably safer than large parts of other cities.
