Basel - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?

Not serious problems, but the local right-wing loony party (SVP) delights in producing offensive, disturbing and dangerous imagery that demonises foreigners, especially eastern European or dark-skinned ones. And this party gets a substantial part of the vote come election time. Basel City and Geneva though tend to have the best rates in terms of supporting equality when it comes to the many referendums and votes held here. - Aug 2011
