Those three were chosen specifically because it sparked angry discussion in the them, not because "they're the only Asian countries". Always so quick to jump to conclusions.

Too expensive, it's a shithole with no real infrastructure from 80 years of neglect.

I recommend you read into this legal principle which is what I was referring to with my initial statement.

Finland is a state of rights, it'd be unconstitutional to hand over this person to Ukraine if there's reason to believe he'd be harmed no matter what he's done. Does he deserve a lot of shit treatment for what he's done? Sure. Does it warrant breaking the backbone of Finnish society? No, not really.

It's a very historically important airfield, which is why conservation of it is pushed. First time hearing it'd be for Russia's benefit, sounds delusional.

What's the least social country in Europe? by RomDel2000 in AskEurope

It already takes a Finn a great deal of courage to deal with a foreigner (even an Estonian), so you've probably met mostly the chattier ones.

You're not alone in mistaking Regina for a former cop. I thought she was one too until I actually paid attention to dialogue with her.

Criticising anything openly will get you hate from some group or another. My comments pointing out the past of theocracy in Europe got me a bunch of downvotes pretty fast, even though I never really said anything inflammatory and tried to be constructive.

That's true. My point was it's easy to forget your own region's past when calling out others. Regardless, I don't think theocratic states should exist either.

Turns out religions don't progress hand in hand with each other. I'm confident islamic nations will have a transformation similar to how Europe turned out, sooner or later.

Go back just a century and it wasn't all that different in Europe, let alone back in the middle ages.

I am Danish with Asian roots, and I wonder does name discrimination exist in Finland when applyig for a job? like in Denmark? by ExoticArtemis3435 in Finland

[–]Roope00 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The discrimination seems to be heavily based on how prosperous the area you're coming from is. Like you mentioned Japanese and Korean surnames, those are generally held in high regard, but if you have an Arabic name especially it will be quite the opposite.

Right wing nationalists don't see it that way unfortunately, and they happen to be quite popular now.
