Abstract: A Swedish professor, has been accused of committing xenophobic acts towards a Turkish university student. This occurrence, at first glance, seems ostensibly an isolated example of a lack of tolerance and acceptance in academia. It is helpful to briefly recall the last elections in Sweden and the attitudes of various parties on issues that may be related to xenophobia and racism. The Sweden Democrats were the most successful party in the election. Common understanding assumes that the Swedish Democrats were created by Nazi sympathizers and have been marginalized for decades. Many individuals fear that there will be a new wave of right-wing parties either directly coming to power in Europe or affecting the government. This and other examples and messages of the government officials are shown of the new "paradigm shift". However, some argue that "paradigm shift" should not be exaggerated.
