fins are just swampswedes anyway

the term you are looking for is china swedes

quote:

In the 1930s, 40 percent of the total membership of the American communist party nationwide came from one small immigrant group - the Finns... Finns often faced hostility from others. Their radical politics were part of the reason, but there were others, too. The Finns were known as "clannish." They had a strange, difficult language; their beloved sauna, was seen as an outlandish, barbaric custom. Finns had a reputation not just as troublemakers, but as hard drinkers and knife fighters. An American newspaper writer once questioned whether Finns possessed souls. The word "Finlander" became a derisive term...

..."One time I said to my father, 'Well, us Finlanders...' and my Dad said "You can't say that. That's a racist remark, that's a putdown of the worst variety.'"

There were other insults... because [our neighbours] knew our parents, grandparents were from Finland, they'd go and put their fingers by their eyes and make slanty eyes and say "Hey, China Swede, hey China Swedes."

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.

FreudianSlippers posted:

They liberated Crimea and eastern Ukraine, areas that have always been a part of the Russian federation despite western lies to the contrary, from the tyranny of the Ukrainian homo-fascist regime.

Finns did, however, shoot down the vote to impose more EU sanctions on Russia a whiles back. Nods of deep respect were exchanged between these two gay-hating, muslim-stoning, belligerent-posturing, vodka-drinking, melancholy-feeling, ancestry-denying peoples. Some Russians took this goodwill gesture as a sign that their daughter may even return home someday.

SmokaDustbowl posted:

do finland and sweden even know what horses are

You would think the finn might know something of horses but nah, not real horses anyway.

They have a really lovely, runty breed of horse there that's good for nothing that probably descends from an eastern line of domesticated animals rather than a northern one. It's appropriately called the finnhorse. Historically and in pre-modern times those would get ditched when you had money and any other breed was available.

being mad about finnish horses, a swedish national pastime

lol you think i'm mad when i'm just paraphrasing the boghorse's own wiki

quote:

"The other main theory suggests that non-Viking peoples, who migrated into Finland from the southeast and south, brought with them horses of Mongolian origin that had been further developed in the Urals and Volga River regions."
"During the Thirty Years' War in 1618–1648, the horses used by Finnish cavalry were small and unrepresentative, considered inferior even to the cargo horses used by the Swedish Royal Army."
"The humble-looking Finnish horses were presumably exchanged when possible for other horses obtained as spoils of war. It was probably rare for a cavalryman to return with the same horse with which he left, and it is likely that the horses brought back to Finland were crossbreeds or of purely Central European lines"

I'd be down with an alt-history where finns remain an uncontacted people, like certain tribes deep in the amazonian jungle that have been 100% insular for tens of thousands of years.

The world would be better off not having experienced finnish culture and finnish culture would be better off w/o foreign ideas of sunshine, happiness, etc setting unattainable goals for the bogman.
