The Puritans in Massachusetts discriminated against virtually everybody who was not of their religion- against Jews, agnostics and Catholics.

Were the Scandinavians discriminated against or accepted?

If the question is asking about Scandinavian immigrants to the US, they were discriminated against, but not nearly as much as other immigrants.

Some of them did, but most Norwegians and Danes sided with the Allies against the Nazis.
