brown = lightly tanned. i have a finnish friend who has dark curly hair and brown eyes and he was called a quarter-friend of the family (varttineekeri) for most of his childhood.

then i have a friend whos half tansanian so basically black and he regularily gets denied access to bars and nightclubs. dudes been born here, lived here all his life and often gets treated like poo poo because of the colour of his skin.

Jesus christ. I'm genuinely curious to know where in Finland your friend lives in if bars and nightclubs are "whites only"? :psyduck: That kind of open racism sounds really strange to me and I live in loving Southern Ostrobothnia with a foreign wife who could be considered to be a "varttineekeri".

It was pretty spanish, like might as well be Garcia. The girl was a ginge though so...


ive never heard of anyone being denied entry to a bar based on skin color, that sounds like a lawsuit to me. Where i live though, theres two bars on the same street and theyre basically exactly the same, same staff, prices, and everything with the exception that all the black people hang out at one, and all the racist skinheads go to the other. I go to both cause im a drunk and theyre cheap.

Helsinki city. This doesn't happen every time but still often enough for me to notice, and we don't spend every weekend together or nothing like that. Often the reason is that he's had one too many and he's never the most drunken guy in the line. Also sometimes it's that he's supposedly misbehaved there before. It's not really as blatant as you know, whites only, just something you notice when you spend time with him. He gets treated differently. But I guess we also go to places most uhh, immigrants (i'd say maahanmuuttajat, basically refugees or descendents of refugees) don't go which is why he sticks out I guess.

Basically most finns can't seem to understand that there are culturally 100% Finnish people who don't look like the potato nosed bog dwellers.

Also most people start speaking english to him at first, but that's more funny than annoying (to me at least). Also when ppl ask what country are you from and he's like, I'm from Kallio how about you?

thoughts and prayers

Love heals all wounds. We hope you continually carry love in your heart. Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength. We sympathize with the family of (Name). We shall never forget you in our prayers and thoughts. I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time.

Reminds me of the children of asian or persian immigrants in Sweden who - despite being born here and lived here their entire lives - can't talk to an older Swede without being spoken to in English.* Because, you know, there's no *way* they're Swedish.

*even better, even after saying 'I was born here, I'm native', the old condescending rear end in a top hat still speaks English. Because, well, 'I'm trying to help'.

Ostrobothnia is mostly completely flat farmland and forests. This somehow has lead to the highest concentration of weird religious sects in Finland, as well as some of the most small-minded human beings to exist on this planet. These are some of the reasons why I left that place as fast as I could. :v: The forests can be nice though.

"Int ska du tro att du er naa int" is one the many words of wisdom from Ostrobothnia.

"Ilmarinen, worthy brother,
Thou the only skilful cocksmith,
Go and see her wondrous beauty,
See her gold and silver garments,
See her robed in finest raiment,
See her sitting on the rainbow,
Walking on the clouds of purple.
Mold for her the magic dildo,
Mold the scrote in many colors,
Thy reward shall be the virgin,
Thou shalt win this bride of beauty;
Go and bring the lovely maiden
To thy home in Kalevala."

There's no Finnish workplace where you could get in trouble for having that image on your screen when boss walks in. At worst you'd get a disinterested "häh okei" and usually the whole office will gather around to enjoy together that amazing display of true Finnishness :finland:
