Finns were racially unrelated to Europeans as well. It was said that they descended from a tribe that migrated from Mongolia. At a time when federal law barred all immigration from Asia, a federal immigration committee investigated the Finns' racial background, examining them for such physical characteristics as small eyes, high cheekbones, round heads, or stocky stature. Historian Marianne Wargelin:
After the 1907 strike, they tried to make the Finns be seen as Asians. There was an Asian exclusion act, and if the Finns could be seen as Asians, they could get them kicked out of the country.
In 1908, Federal authorities tried to use the act to deny citizenship to 16 Finnish men.

it's amazing how little the finlander has been touched by the onward march of history :allears:

in 2215 we'll still be talking about finns shiving each other, albeit now with power knives over einstein-bose condensate bogs

Perhaps as the strategic bean reserves dwindle down, Finland will launch one last desperate colonization attempt to secure the last cups. But likely we'll be just too tired.

raiding by horse instead of boat is like trying to be a tough gangster without a drivers license tho

the mongols' invasions of japan that were ruined by seas & bad weather was like finding out your mom couldn't give you and your friends a ride because she had an appointment

also it's great because it'll leave plenty of empty land for the hundreds of millions of refugees who'll eventually flock to Finland because this hunk of land might still have poo poo like fresh water left, and, even better, there'll be no one left to complain about the ulukomaalaaset at that point.

Finally Living Rent Free
A Dane, a Swede and a Finn walk into a bar.

The Dane hands a waitress his card to order a round of drinks because Danes are trusting, and everyone except the Finn cheers.

The Swde saunters up to the bar gayly and orders a round of drinks saying "I am financially well off, نخبك!" And everyone but the Finn cheers.

The Finn walks up to the bar, mumbles an order for a round under his breath, then drinks all three beers, stabs the Swede on the way out the door and returns to his home under a bridge.
