   it's always rather ironic when someone clearly of foreign origin   
   preaches about the evils of immigration. as when the leader of the   
   racist (later prohibited) party Hvit Valgallianse was called Jack. or   
   when a politician called Wright suggested that "ethnically norwegian"   
   children should be in school classes away from, y'know, all those nasty   
   immigrants' children.
