Ilta-Sanomat tabloid ad (lööppi) from April 1, 1993
Migrant Tales publishes on and off Finnish tabloid ads* (lööppi in Finnish) from the 1990s. Taking into account that Finland’s immigrant population started to grow during that decade, it is easy at least through some of the main stories of tabloids like Ilta-Sanomat and Iltalehti to see how some of them reflected our xenophobic and racist views.
Finnish PS hardcore far-right MP gives a kick in the gut to the Romany minority
Perussuomalaiset (PS) MP Olli Immonen represents the worst of the worst when it comes to the acceptance of our ever-growing culturally diverse society. Apart from predicting a war between Islam and white Christian Europe, Immonen never loses the opportunity to kick the most vulnerable members of society in the guts.
We welcome Finnish and Swedish on Migrant Tales
Some may ask why Migrant Tales ?is a blog written in the English language about Finnish immigration. The answer is simple: English would be an effective filter to keep out the more hostile Finns to immigration. Even so, I think that Migrant Tales can and should have more Finnish and Swedish.

Hommaforum stoops to new depths by “defaming” adolescent
Hommaforum is a forum closely linked to Perussuomalaiset (PS) party MP Jussi Halla-aho’s blog, Scripta, and to Suomen Sisu, a far-right extremist association. Even if Hommaforum and Scripta are only smears of hatred that splash on Finland’s good name, they don’t care whom they tar and feather as long as they have a good time. But to attack and defame publicly a brave adolescent, Rebecca Holm, who spoke out against racism, shows how low they will go to make their point.

Riittää jo rasismi ja “suvaitsevaisuus” – tarvitsemme dialogia!
Olemme keränneet rasisminvastaisen viikon ajan allekirjoituksia otsikon nimiseen julkilausumaan (www.adressit.com/julkilausuma), sillä mielestämme suomalaiseen kulttuuriin ei kuulu eikä sovi ihmisarvojen hierarkia. Tähän mennessä julkilausuman on kirjoittanut 730 henkilöä.

Nationalismi, etnosentrisyys ja rasismi
Nationalismi liitetään usein etnosentrisyyteen. Tämä yhdistämien osittain totta. Voimme sanoa nationalismin sikiävän etnosentrisestä maailman katsomuksesta mutta lapsi on kulkenut omaa tietä. Lapsi on ottanut rasismin karkkia ja mutaatioistunut joksikin aivan muuksi. Joksikin joka on erittäin eurooppalainen.
