Welp I guess it’s about time I got called racist for making a comment about black people. Maybe it wasn’t the best possible wording idk? I apologize to anyone who’s bothered by it though I’m not sure why that’s the case. I’m willing to learn, by all means educate me

Black people are a small minority in Finland = this is a fact, only 3.4% of the population are immigrants while most of those are white Europeans. I don’t imply it’s a good thing, we have a lot to learn from Sweden. I sorta admire anyone who manages to stay here at all because this is a notoriously difficult country to migrate to. Finns are withdrawn/racist, the language is impossible and the climate sucks, for starters

Chances are they’re well dressed = this is observation. I admit it could be confirmation bias but often when I spot a fashionable person in central Helsinki they tend to be non-white. White Finns dress like crap most of the time, myself included
