As a European you know that you look really Danish but in Indonesia they wouldn't know if you were Swedish, Norwegian or whatever so if you really feel nervous just say you are Swedish but really as the other posters said there is no interest in this in Bali. Honestly even the minority Muslim people on Bali just want peace and to be able to make a living.
I can relate to what you feel though because I'm an English born Australian and when in any former colony of Britain I feel this terrible guilt for what total pratts they often were and always say I am Australian. Of course any Aussie can pick my accent but elsewhere I pass for Aussie. Don't worry truly if I can pass for an Aussie with my accent trust me you can pass for Swedish!!!!!!
