It doesn’t take a lot for a country to go from being “the place with a cute kids show, beautiful nature and friendly people” to “that place with racists in the government” but it’s gonna be a hell of a hard time to get back
Finland is heavily romanticized and people are upset when they see such things. Sure they are not aware of cavemen Persu group. It is good someone stands against such things. Not end of the world. People need to correct themselves.
I kinda find this hilarious when Japan itself is super xenophobic

Actually the Japanese eyes you do by pulling your eyelids down… Just saying.

This is the sentiment i’ve got, one comment said, paraphrasing “Why finland? We were suppose to look up to you?”. A lot of people in the world learned that we have these kind of racists too.
Go away Russian bot
It is not. The Finnish media takes any blog post or internet media and makes national news about them making an article.
I’m glad that this incident brings a bit more realistic view of the country. It’s not only a few politicians, they were elected by the people and the politicians you get are the reflection of what the people think. Not all the people, but racism and xenophobia in Finland definitely isn’t just a problem of a few politicians.
May this bring some progress, not only shaking fist at Persut “look what you did to our public image!” but looking at the deeper issue.
A reputational harm can remain just as permanent as positive impressions; the responsibility of the Finns Party for this issue does not end here but continues to live on. Even now, one still occasionally sees news about Finland on social media that feature only female ministers (from the Marin government), even though the Orpo–Purra government has already been in office for quite some time.
I don’t think Finland can back from this. This is some Third Reich level shit ngl. Maybe if we ban the persus for good and lock up the worst offenders then there might be a way in the distant future for us to make amends to the people of East Asia. But this is a serious crime and I don’t think these wounds will heal in many years to come. I’m starting to feel that maybe Russia was right after all and Finland deserves to be denazified. I felt bad when the Chinese boats destroyed those cables but now I’m thinking we actually had it coming. First we have to take a good look at the mirror and admit that Finns are the worst racist in the world, just like the people who have moved here have been saying all along. Finland is a beautiful country but its people are rotten to the core and frankly we don’t deserve to live here, if we truly are sorry then the first step would be to take down all restrictions on immigration and let everyone move here who so desires.
The few politicians are elected, democratically as the constitution of this country entails. So they do realistically represent a non-negligible percentage of the population, namely racism and how the “immigrant” is the real threat to this country.
Finland should focus more on solving the inherent racism problems, and image will follow along. Finn leaders got it the wrong, opposite way.
In what way was it “racist” though?
If they only knew the true redneck nature of the place
Higher expectations and bigger disappointment? I mean if it’s the Russians who did the racist gestures, for sure Japanese wouldn’t have such big reactions coz they have no expectations for Russians…but Finland? Gosh, you guys ruin your own reputation like without a blink…
I was surprised to learn how much Japanese people simp over Finland. It felt like every second Japanese I spoke to dreamed of visiting it. What a way to turn this around
