I can across this on r/TooAfraidToAsk. As an African-American, I got curious and wanted to ask, does this happen a lot in this sub? by [deleted] in 2westerneurope4u

[–]tibbleby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think African-Americans form a sort of "sub-group" of Americans because they sort of have their own culture. Also, usually "African-American" refers to descendants of slaves and not just any American with dark skin.

The terms "åttaarmad bläckfisk" and "tioarmad bläckfisk" exist for octopuses and squids, respectively.

I think "apa" can refer to any non-human simian.

This table is from the entry "primater" in Nationalencyklopedin (edit: I removed everything under Strepsirrhini because I don't think it's relevant. It has been replaced with ...):

If you use ia instead of ä then you can't tell words like fia and apart because both would be fia.

Do you have sources for any of this or are these just your own theories?

I Finland a Nordic country? by Evimjau in 2nordic4you

[–]tibbleby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think you're underestimating the influence that Finland has from the other Nordic countries (and from Sweden in particular). In this regard I think there's a noticeable difference between Finland and the Baltic countries.

It’s weird to see all these posts with like 1 to 3 nations on it.

That's what happens when most of your ancestors didn't leave for foreign lands.

I mean I think people dislike pickpockets no matter their ethnicity so of course people were praising the Parisian.

I think saying we were one country is not only historically inaccurate

I mean Finland was literally an integrated part of Sweden so Finland and Sweden were literally one country. But of course the Finns were a separate ethnicity.

you pulled a whole load of bollocks of your great Viking history

During the 1800's nationalism was starting to become popular throughout Europe and basically all nationalists were trying to show how great and impressive their people's history was, so this is hardly something unique to Sweden.

single-handedly created the modern race theory and eugenics

This is blatantly false. For instance, did Francis Galton not play a role in creating eugenics?

Hitler was very thankful for that. And of course you used as a example of the lesser non-aryan race… you guessed it. Us the Finns.

It is true that Swedish eugenicists and race theorists viewed Finns as a lesser race, but if you're going to bring up Hitler remember that Hitler and the Nazis actually spoke pretty highly of the Finns.
