(美国有线新闻网CNN) — 对比川普所说的非洲的屎眼国家，他希望美国接纳更多来自挪威的移民。
尽管我们爱游览美国，川普总统，挪威海人去美国定居是高度不可能的事。作为一个挪威人，我可以告诉您，您急于让我们移民（到美国），我们受到的不是抬举，受到的只有冒犯。
尽管川普已经否认说过那句话，但是参加过那个会的国会议员们却表示，报道属实。
川普总统对挪威人的抬举，对挪威人来说却并不是奉承，相反是冒犯。
川普总统以来源地取人，很难不与民族问题挂钩。挪威人在历史上以民族因素被正面鉴别，我们一直抵制这种理念，并会继续这样做。
我们喜欢我们生活的地方。事实上，挪威是世界上最幸福的国家。我们幸福是因为我们生活在一个平均主义的社会，我们努力奋斗而给予每一个人好的和平等的机会--无论民族、性别和社会背景。
一个世纪以前事情不是这样的。大约80万挪威人移民到美国，包括我的祖父。我们是一个穷国，移民在寻找机会并应了那句自由女神雕像上的句子：他们是我们劳累的、穷苦的人。美国欢迎他们，并且他们找到了所求。
今天，挪威是世界上最富裕的国家之一，并且我们将不会放弃我们从出生到死亡的福利。我的妊娠假期是慷慨的一年，幼儿园价格低廉，高等教育也是免费的。健康医疗对每一位挪公民都是免费的。我们的社会致力于实现宽容。每一个正常人都推崇自由的价值观、男女平等和人权。管道工儿子与CEO的女儿进同一所学校，并且社会流动性很高。所以，我国的领导有多样化的背景，任何人可以在树林里看到北约秘书长滑雪，或者总理在超市里购买日用品。
所以美国总统应当努力引进我们的一部分理想，而不是争取进口我们白人的肤色。
同时，移民已经并正在成为挪威的组成部分。我们的历史由移民形成，从世界海盗到德国汉萨到达挪威西南海岸的卑儿根。挪威人口的将近17%由移民组成，或者其父母是移民。这包括索马里，厄里特里亚，伊拉克，叙利亚，菲律宾人，和巴基斯坦人。
这并不是说挪威是完美的--川普也需要知道这一点。
激进的思想意识在西方世界兴起，挪威也没有免疫。我们也经历了右翼恐怖主义的摧毁性的后果。新纳粹在增加，自2012年以来至少有100名挪威穆斯林被激进化，并加入IS。美国白人至上分子在弗吉尼亚州夏洛特斯维尔聚会，夸赞斯坎的那维亚的新纳粹组织日尔曼抵抗运动。那是一小撮，但在我们社会里日益显现。我们整个社会谴责他们推崇的卑鄙的理念。刚刚这个星期会见了川普总统的我们的总理，不说在新纳粹分子中有“很好的人”。她警告他们可以撕裂我们的社会。
反抗此趋势的关键是融合与平等。鼓励我们的社会，每个人分开判断，而不是以民族或宗教群体判断，这是至关重要的。这些是马丁.路德.金推崇的理想是一样的，也是与怪异的唐纳德.川普在发表“屎眼国家”和挪威的评论后，首次与新闻界见面表扬的理想一样的。
联合国已经遣责川普总统的言论，称之为种族主义分子，指出引用挪国已使一切明了。喜欢从挪威来的移民，嫌弃从另一个大陆来的移民，除了以种族取人还能作什么别的解读。我们为我们的国家骄傲，但不是因为我们是白人。历史的借鉴使人不愉快；挪威以前曾因“民族纯度”被夸赞。我们抵制纳粹德国，我们热爱的美国帮助反击那些理念。所以，谢谢，但不是感谢您的抬举，总统先生。
Norwegian: No thank you, President Trump

(CNN) — Donald Trump wants America to have more immigrants from Norway in contrast to what he reportedly called "shithole countries" in Africa.
Although we love to visit America, Mr. Trump, it is highly unlikely that Norwegians are going to flow into the US to live. As a citizen of Norway, I can tell you we're not flattered, but offended by the President's eagerness to have us emigrate.
Even though Trump has denied making the particular comment, members of Congress who attended the meeting say that the reports are true.
The offer has left Norwegians offended, not flattered.
President Trump is judging immigrants by where they come from, and it is hard not to see this as a question of ethnicity. Norwegians have had a history of being positively discriminated for our race and have resisted
those ideas before -- we will do it again.
We like where we live. In fact, Norway is the happiest country in the world. We are that way because we live in an egalitarian society where we strive to give everyone good and equal opportunities -- regardless of ethnic, gender and social background.
A century ago it was different. About 800,000 Norwegians migrated to the US, including my great-grandfather. We were a poor country, and the migrants were searching for opportunities and fit the phrase on the Statue of Liberty: They were our tired, our poor. America welcomed them, and they found what they were looking for.
Today, Norway is one of the richest countries in the world, and we will not give up on our cradle-to-grave welfare. Our parental leave is a generous year,
kindergarten is cheap, and our higher education is free. Health care is also free for every Norwegian citizen. Our society strives to be tolerant. Every political party promotes liberal values, gender-equality and human rights. The plumber´s son goes to school with the CEO´s daughter, and social mobility is high. Hence, our leaders have diverse backgrounds and anyone could meet the NATO secretary general skiing in the woods or our Prime Minister at the supermarket doing her own grocery shopping.
So instead of trying to import our whiteness, the US President should try letting some of our ideals in.
Also, immigrants have been and are shaping Norway. Our history is formed by migration, from the Vikings traveling the world to the German Hanseaten coming to Bergen, a city on the southwestern coast. Nearly 17% of our population is made up of immigrants or have immigrant parents. This includes Somalis, Eritreans, Iraqis, Syrians, Filipinos, and Pakistanis.
This is not to say that Norway is perfect -- and Trump needs to understand this part too.
Radical ideologies are rising throughout the Western hemisphere and Norway has not been immune. We have experienced right-wing terrorism with devastating consequences. Neo-Nazis are increasing, and at least 100 Norwegian Muslims have been radicalized and joined the Islamic state since 2012. The white American supremacists who gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia, praised the Scandinavian neo-Nazi group Nordic Resistance Movement. It is a small, but increasingly visual group in our society. They promote despicable ideas that we condemn as a society. Our Prime Minister, who met with Trump earlier this week, does not say that there are "some very fine people" among the marching Nazis. She warns that they could rip our society apart.
The key to fighting against such tendencies is integration and equality. Encouraging a society where we judge people as individuals, not for belonging to an ethnic or religious group, is crucial. These are the same ideals that Martin Luther King Jr. promoted, and that Donald Trump, bizarrely enough, praised in his first meeting with the press after the comments on "shithole countries" and Norway.
The UN has condemned the President´s comments as racist, pointing that the reference to Norway makes the context clear. Favoring Norwegian immigrants over to those from another continent cannot be read as anything but judging people by their race. We are proud of our country, but not because we are white. The historical connotations are unpleasant; Norwegians have been praised for our "ethnic purity" before. We resisted Nazi Germany, and the America that we love helped fight those ideas. So, thanks, but no thanks for the offer, Mr. President.
