Migrants in Sweden are far over-represented in crime. Especially violent crime.

All of the bombings are gang related, and gang members in Sweden have a disproportionately foreign background.

There is nothing to gain here by pretending this isn't happening. People are literally dying. No one mentioned any races, and conflating "immigrant" with any particular race is misleading at best.

Not disputing the nbers, why would I? But painting it as problem purely caused by migration, and I highly doubt we talk about people from Germany, Denmark or Norway, has some xenophobic undertones, doesn't it?

The gang crime is, almost entirely, driven by 1st or 2nd generation migrants.

There is no use in splitting hairs on this one. The issue is clear.

Your sources aren't worth reading because I don't like the conclusions they support. /s

Given the very loose definition of racism and xenophobia these days, you may be right, but in the same sense that you can call a woman sexist for not wanting to be followed by a man when walking alone at night. Calling her a sexist repeatedly does not make her behavior unfounded or unreasonable.
