You know, I don't even remember that, and it's the sort of thing I would remember because it would make me roll my eyes too. I think you have the wrong end of the stick. Or that whichever character supposedly said this was someone you're not supposed to think highly of. So it would be more like, "So-and-so thinks a black person can't be Swedish, and is clearly a blinkered idiot."
I'm not saying the show doesn't get lazy about other countries, in the way of most American shows, though. The only Brit characters in it have been horrible so far - including a turn from Eddie Izzard that he should be ashamed of.
Maybe Shadowkat or Emmie remember the scene you're talking about. I feel I have to go and find it now - which, given there are four full seasons already - might be a bit difficult.
