At the same time, a Change.org petition calling for apologies and political consequences has rapidly gathered nearly 30,000 signatures, largely from people of Asian background.
I think they can answer her question for her in the comments. It’s useless to blame the media or freedom of speech for this if the party themselves chooses to throw more fuel to the fire.
I think it is finally time for consequences. I already signed. Did you?

I urge people to not let this stuff fly, even conservatives. It’s clear what’s happening in the USA with all the racist shit, everyone is getting fucked even the ones who voted for the racists.
Kick the idiots out and never vote for morons like this again. They fucked up big enough that no matter what their political opinions are it does not matter anymore. Find better people to vote for.
Even your average Esa or Erkki has more brain to not fuck around like dimwits when they work in politics.
As Vietnamese, I’m legit wondering if one day I get the passport, but Russia invades Finland and Vietnam happens to be an ally Russia on the other side of the world which I have no choice or influence over, I’ll be considered a member of the fifth column and thrown into an internment camp with these people in charge.
The biggest issue with this is that these people are so ignorant and incompetent that they don’t realize this is racism… This is worldwide news and these people are humiliating Finland in front of the whole world and especially our Asian allies. This is anti politics, get these people out immediately.
What a disgusting scumbag she is. Also pro murdering Palestinians.
I don’t think we should let it slide, but I doubt anything will come out of it. When Riikka’s fantasies about murdering brown people came to light there was a protest and nothing much came out of it. Same racists in power with the same racist agenda.
Keep pushing, but keep your expectations in check.
This person is a former drug addict and used to use amfetamine intraveinously. Apparently the drugs have rotten holes in her brain. Or maybe she was always a moronic asshole, who knows? But the thing I know she has always been a net negative for Finnish society and still continues to be.
Is there already a citizen’s initiative up about this? It’s the only petition they’re required to take seriously I think.
Baffling that at least Eerola wasn’t expelled from the party immediately. If I were held at gunpoint and told to give these dipshits the best possible defense, I’d be able to say of the rest of them that maybe they did nothing more than emulate the miss to show solidarity. But even that wouldn’t hold water in his case, because instead of willfully making one racist expression, he made TWO with the fuckin buck teeth. He doubled if not tripled down. I’m astounded that we’re talking about what to do with him as if it isn’t abundantly obvious.
What did she say?
Oh for fucks sakes, can we NOW just kick them out more and less literally? By this behaviour, these braindead rednecks aren’t exactly doing any favours for Finland, nor improving the reputation of themselves or their party. IQ just about matches their shoesize.
My 3 year old niece knows better than those old racist fucks
Surely, even if you condone the racism or are one of the voters that actively support it, they can see that being outwardly, openly racist is a net negative for the conservative goal of economic gain? Being openly racist damages trade and therefore the bottom line – even a moron would know that. It’s a net negative for anyone and everyone to let this slide.
I swear they get more stupid by a minute….
Hanlonin partaveitsi oikeasti tylsyi jo. Ei edes persut voi olla näin tyhmiä. Niiden on pakko olla Venäjän agentteja ja tehtävänantona paskoa Suomi niin sisäisesti kuin ulkoisesti.
Its just a wee bit of good fun like! Calm down innit
Social media content farmers make this so out of proportion. Some idiots posted stupid shit on social media which happens 100 million times every day. Just move on.
For some reason these days many people can’t respect the basic rule of internet, just ignore 99% and carry on.
Is she really incapable of realizing that there is no point blaming the domestic media for being “leftist woke canceling” when the shit is going viral in international scale screwing up the business relations of an entire nation.
This is not about you and your political agenda anymore, this is about the whole country. The nation who invented seppuku to deal with situations like this is not gonna accept any lame-ass apologies, especially if they are not coming from the idiots who started this.
A true patriot would resign immediately, not to save their own face but to safe the face of the motherland.
What’s next, blackface at the PS Christmas party?
We would be better of if we lock up Persus in prison and throw away the key.
Apologise and move on even if you don’t believe in it… but nooo you just have to act like a 50-year Edge lord troll.
since this event, many Asian friends of mine have faced racism in the streets and public transport in Helsinki, it’s freeing casual racism and it’s concerning
There won’t be any real consquences because the party is needed for the goverment to stay standing and Orpo doesn’t want to be remembered for failing as a PM that badly (too). So PM will say sorry to everyone and says that we’re all agreeing this, even though that one party isn’t.
And no, haven’t signed nor will I. Change.org isn’t something that’d have any real meaning on anything. It’s a “feel good” -site.
She know her voters mindset and this is what they voted for so that’s why she doesn’t feel an apology.
Pathetic!
☹️
> Kuka määrittelee, mikä kuva on rasistinen
The people you are mocking, not you that’s for sure
These people are not fit to govern. People of this calibre use more of their feelings rather than intelligence – that’s if they have any. They shouldn’t be anywhere near the parliament.
They should apologize for it. If you don’t like some communities, that’s okay. but you can’t mock them. This is pure racism.
Her own kids are literally POCs but apparently its still cool to make fun of other ethnic minorities
Funny thing in this situation is how everybody is just addressing the damage done to finland’s image, and not addressing the inherent racism in this country. Image kinda matters more than people. got it.
I definitely signed.
I’m so done with this. Never any consequences, it’s very dangerous. Overton window is wide open.
I think people are really underestimating racism. Racism when it comes from people in power encourages some people to start being openly racist. The world already has enough hate. Why amplify it? Aren’t we all humans who poop and will eventually die? I didn’t pick to be born where I was born, why I am always treated based on some family guy episode stereotypes. Why not judge people only on their ethical code and how much they contribute positively to society?
If I learned one thing about the world is that you can’t be racist and a smart person. Racism lacks logic.
Thank you for posting this, I’ve signed. I work as a researcher in Helsinki and my area of research is prejudice, I am so in favor of a nationwide survey on discrimination following this episode. Hope the petition is successful
Is there no code of conduct for civil servants? If I went around publicly being racist there would be consequences.
If they stay in the government, this would mean the whole of it is fine with that.
You do know that petitions from that site doesn’t do anything?
This is how racism creeps into the mainstream. Cut it out before it spreads.
