Comment: The Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK) is concerned about racism in Finland and how it could tarnish the country’s good image and scare off skilled immigrants.”Before drunkards would yell (at immigrants) at night,” said EK’s Riita Wärn. “Harassment now happens at day. This is very worrying.”
While it is a positive sign that more pressure groups and common Finns are speaking out against racism, I am pretty certain that the election victory of the Perussuomalaiset (PS) party in April already tarnished the country’s image. The PS doesn’t have to worry about skilled labor coming to Finland because there are more attractive and friendlier countries to move to in Europe.
Even if racism and discrimination is raising its head in Finland, the most probable thing is that it always existed but never had a reason to come out in such force as today.
Do you agree?

jos suomi on rasistinen niin näytä mulle maa joka ei ole
näytä maa jossa ulkomaalainen/nainen/homo/vähemmistökansalainen on tasa-arvoisemmassa asemassa ja paremmassa valtion huomassa ja huoltosuhteessa?
There are few racists in finland but they are almost harmeless except the random violance in the streets, its quite normal in finland to drunk fight, finnish are very simple and shy ppl but when they get drunk they are like those aloud monkeys looking for fight somebody and rather they look fights in groups against one or two lonely easy targets.
Persusuomalaiset is not the proplem, they leader seems intellectual person and is up against racisms but amongs them are couple clowns halla-aho and that other duchbag i do not remember name right now. They should be fired from politics and all media immedetly. But media likes them clowns, dont they.
In generally finnish ppl are not racists ppl, im gypsy amongst finnish and mostly i become friends with finnish but theres few that are so jellowsy towards my darker ppl that they act out.
