[[Wikipedia:white pixelization]]
White pixelization (Swedish: vitpixling) is a form of digital pixelization claimed primarily by right-wing groups to be of widespread use in Swedish media. According to this notion, it is common that faces of non-white offenders are digitally lightened before the image is pixelized or blurred in order not to reveal the persons ethnic origin. This is thought of as a kind of censorship with the goal of not revealing relations between Swedish immigration policy and the criminal activities of immigrants.[1] The idea that white pixelization is used by the Swedish media is a well-spread notion in Swedish far right communities and papers, as well as web sites such as Metapedia.[2]
