Sveriges representant i Eurovision song contest Tousin ”Tusse” Chiza har nyligen börjat repetera sitt framträdande på scenen i Rotterdam. Under lördagen lades bilder från en repetition upp på tävlingens officiella intstakramkonto. I kommentarfältet gick det att se mycket kärlek och många hejarop, men även hat och rasism.

In Aftonbladet, Tusse says that he was so busy that he did not have time to read everything that was written about him, but that he should go in and read the comments later.

At the time of writing, the racist comments seem to have been deleted.

- Without having seen them, I can say 'Can't stop us now, forget the haters' (can not stop us now, forget the haters), he says singing to Aftonbladet.

The line about hatred is part of his Eurovision song.  

- It has not affected me at all, I am in 'game mode', he says to Aftonbladet.

"Gets pissed off"

- I get so pissed and sad that this happens.

Racism in all its forms is completely reprehensible and it is clear that you get upset, says Lotta Furebäck, head of the Swedish delegation, to SVT.

According to her, Tusse's contribution "Voices" is largely about being accepted and dealing with exclusion.

- We support Tusse and are there for him if and when needed, she says.
