Start or the end

There’s only one step to take to a love story                                                                                        There’s  only one step more to take to a love story.

Sigh, but there’s not a bit of courage left.                                                                                                This is a reminder that there’s only one step to your.

Sigh, but my existence has left and said adieu.
That lover-sweetheart look, I am Dana?.

Isolated, isolated from me, and without me
There is no ointment that will cure my broken heart.

Except for the existence of a kind and tired friend
After this I never want anyone, no-one.

Because  now I am one with the Grand Spirit
Will be alive maybe for some time?.

Break this tough spell of bad luck,                                                                                                        Change the course of my hard suffering.

Sigh, he comes and will help me to destroy the dam that holds so much misfortune
In the massive arms of my hero, I sit effortlessly and stay with him.

Instantly, turn to one person with him, oh                                                                                                    I don’t want anyone else except for my pal from this world.

Almighty God, what time will the end of my story be?                                                                                 Lover come and heal us, sigh.

Husein Muhammed: Hyssytteleekö media vähemmistöjen rikoksia?

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Migrant Tales

Husein Muhammed

“Miksi media hyssyttelee vähemmistöjen rikoksia?”, kysyi Suomen Kuvalehti kesäkuun numeron kannessa. Varsinaisen jutun lehti otsikoi kysymyksellä: “Jos somali syyllistyy rikokseen, pitääkö hänen etninen taustansa kertoa uutisessa?”

Lehti on asiaa varten haastatellut toimittajia, tutkijaa, nettipoliisia ja maahanmuuttovastaisen Homma ry:n puheenjohtajaa.

Haastattelu on tehty näennäisen puolueettomasti: kysytään eri tahojen näkemyksiä aiheesta. Tosiasiassa etukannen johdattelevan kysymyksen lisäksi koko haastattelu on sikäli johdatteleva, että haastatelluilta tivataan ensisijaisesti sitä, miksi he ovat jättäneet pois rikoksesta epäillyn etnisen taustan, vaikka se on sisältynyt poliisin tiedotteeseen.

Hieman yllättäen sensaatiohakuisina pidettyjen Iltalehden ja Uuden Suomen päätoimittajat puolustavat etnisen taustan jättämistä pois uutisesta, ellei sillä ole ilmeistä vaikutusta rikokseen. Sen sijaan oikeustoimittaja ja – odotetusti – maahanmuuttovastaisen järjestön edustaja puolustavat etnisen taustan mainitsemista.

Tiedotusvälineiden toimintaa sääntelevät journalistin ohjeet. Niiden mukaan etnistä alkuperää, kansallisuutta, sukupuolta, seksuaalista suuntautumista, vakaumusta tai näihin verrattavaa ominaisuutta ei pidä tuoda esiin asiaankuulumattomasti tai halventavasti.

Milloin sitten rikoksesta epäillyn, syytetyn tai tuomitun etninen taustaa kuuluu tai ei kuulu asiaan?

Ensinnäkin kannattaa tehdä ero kahden erilaisen tilanteen välillä: toisaalta silloin kun rikoksesta epäiltyä etsitään ja toisaalta silloin kun hänet on saatu kiinni. Jos rikoksesta epäilty on vapaalla jalalla ja poliisi pyytää yleisön vinkkejä, kaikki mahdollinen tieto voi olla tärkeää epäillyn kiinnisaamiseksi. Tällöin myös etnisen taustan, kansalaisuuden ja ihonvärin mainitsemisen on sallittua. Sen sijaan tapauksissa, joissa epäilty on jo otettu kiinni, etnisen taustan mainitseminen ei vaikuttane rikoksen selvittämiseen tai tuomioon.

Ne haastatellut, jotka puoltavat etnisen taustan mainitsemista kaikissa tapauksissa, pitävät avoimuutta tärkeänä. Mutta onko juuri etninen tausta se avoimuuden kannalta tärkein asia?

Mikäli rikos liittyy jotenkin etniseen taustaan tai kansalaisuuteen, sen mainitseminen voi toki olla tärkeää. Esimerkiksi laittomasti maahan tulevien kansalaisuus voidaan mainita. Myös mahdollisesta maahanmuuttajaryhmän ja suomalaisryhmän joukkotappelussa voisi mainita etnisen ryhmän. Myös “kunniaväkivallan” tai naisten sukuelinten silpomisen yhteydessä etninen tausta voi olla olennainen tieto, jotta rikoksen taustalla olevia kulttuurisia asioita voidaan käsitellä.

Mutta entä yksittäisissä rikoksissa? Pahoinpitelyssä, ryöstössä, veropetoksessa? Onko niissä olennaisin rikokseen liittyvä seikka rikoksesta epäillyn etninen tausta? Toisin sanoen: onko rikoksen tekijän etninen tausta saanut hänet syyllistymään kyseiseen rikokseen?

Hyssytteleekö media etnisten vähemmistöjen tekemiä rikoksia, kuten lehti etukannessaan väittää? Miksi? Entä mitä henkilöön liittyvää jää joitakin yksittäisiä, laajasti raportoituja rikoksia lukuun ottamatta pois: rikokseen syyllistyneen ammatti, varallisuus, ikä, paino, harrastukset, poliittinen vakaumus… Etnistä taustaa paljon suurempi vaikutus voi olla esimerkiksi ammatilla (veropetokset), harrastuksilla (pahoinpitelyt), poliittisella vakaumuksella (maahanmuuttajien pahoinpitelyt).

Maahanmuuttajien osuutta erityyppisistä rikoksista selvitetään melko tarkasti ja niistä myös uutisoidaan. Jos etninen tausta on niissä olennainen tieto, miksi näistä muista henkilöön liittyvistä asioista ei tehdä numeroa? “Maahanmuuttajuutta” pidetään olennaisena tietona, mutta miksi samalla ei tarkastella “maassamuuttajuutta”: Miksi sillä on väliä, että henkilö on kaksikymmentä vuotta sitten muuttanut Helsinkiin Somaliasta, mutta sillä ei ole väliä, jos hän on muuttanut tänne Rovaniemeltä? Entä tekevätkö Rovaniemeltä muuttaneet enemmän vai vähemmän rikoksia kuin Lahdesta muuttaneet?

Etnisen taustan mainitsemista puolustava toimittaja peräänkuuluttaa avoimuutta. Avoimuus on kuitenkin valikoivaa: kaikista rikokseen syyllistyneen ominaisuuksista juuri “maahanmuuttajuudesta” tehdään numero. Se sopii tietysti etenkin maahanmuuttovastaisen järjestön agendaan: kun maahanmuuttajuus yhdistetään rikollisuuteen, maahanmuuttoa on helpompi vastustaa.

Esimerkiksi maassamuuttoa tai poliittisia liikkeitä ei taas voida samalla argumentilla vastustaa, koska niiden vaikutusta rikollisuuteen ei tutkita eivätkä toimittajat ole kiinnostuneista niistä ainakaan “tavallisten rikosten” yhteydessä. Etnisen taustan mainitsemista puolustavat toimittajat vetoavat siihen, että heidän tehtävänä on vain uutisoida. Johtopäätökset kuulemma jätetään lukijalle.

Ongelmana on, että tietyt etniset ryhmät liitetään rikoksiin, vaikka niiden valtaenemmistö ei koskaan syyllistyisi yhteenkään rikokseen. On tietysti oikein, että rikoksiin syyllistynyt maahanmuuttaja saa saman rangaistuksen kuin suomalainen. Lisäksi vakaviin rikoksiin syyllistynyt maahanmuuttaja voidaan myös karkottaa maasta. Sekin on oikein. Sen sijaan ei ole oikein, että kaikki hänen etniseen ryhmäänsä kuuluvat leimataan keskusteluissa rikollisiksi.

Why isn’t anyone labeling Estonians?

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Migrant Tales

If I belonged to a certain anti-immigration party in Finland, how would I use the following information to score brownie points with the voters: 700 out of 1,200 suspected drunk-driving cases in Finland are by Estonian nationals, according to tabloid Ilta-Sanomat.

Even if such a high number of Estonians were caught driving under the influence of alcohol during the first half of the year – 60% of all DUI cases by foreigners – you don’t hear any politicians demanding that Estonians should be barred from driving in Finland.

Remember a A-Studio documentary that insinuated that the “high” amount of rape convictions in Finland were by immigrants who came from war zones? YLE based its claim on 25 convictions during the first five months of the year!

Why isn’t anyone labelling Estonians with the same enthusiasm as the A-Studio documentary if we are speaking of a much higher 700 suspected DUI cases?

The answer is obvious: Estonians are white, certain non-EU immigrants in Finland aren’t.

Massive Greek police clampdown on immigrants

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Migrant Tales

Cash-strapped Greece showed its dark side over the weekend when some 2,000 police in Athens and surroundings arrested 1,100 undocumented immigrants and held another 4,900 for questioning, according to Clandestina blog. The action is a disturbing example of how the Greek government is trying to blame immigrants for the country’s financial problems.  

It is estimated that Greece has close to one million undocumented immigrants mostly from Asian countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and others.

Apart from having no legal protection, one of the most worrying aspects of the clampdown by Greek police is the silence of European politicians. This is not only shameful but a clear indication that matters are going to get worse in Europe for immigrants before they improve.

Adding salt to injury, the police named the operation Xenios Zeus, which was the ancient Greek god of hospitality.

Two thousand police were mobilized in Athens and 2,500 on Greece’s eastern border with long-time enemy Turkey.

The massive crackdown, which will continue, took place before the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and European Central Bank representatives were set to meet Greek officials concerning a 31.5-billion-euro tranche of aid next month.

Writes the Los Angeles Times: “Public Order and Citizens’ Protection Minister Nikos Dendias defended the roundups as necessary to keep Greece from unraveling, arguing that the country faced the biggest “invasion” since the influx of the ancient Dorians thousands of years ago. Dendias had earlier claimed that “unbelievably high” numbers of immigrants were involved in crime, according to Greek news reports.”

Der Spiegel names Timo Soini as one of Europe’s most dangerous politicians

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Migrant Tales

German newsmagazine, Der Spiegel, published the top ten most dangerous politicians in Europe concerning the euro crisis. One of these was Perussuomalaiset (PS) chairman Timo Soini, who is in the ”good” company of Geert Wilders, Viktor Orban, Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage, Silvio Bertlusconi and four others.

Even if Soini is in the opposition, his shadow hangs heavy over the government of Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen, according to Der Spiegel.  “Not a penny more,” he is quoted as saying defiantly about the euro crisis. “We have paid enough.”

Even if Soini is considered as one of the most dangerous politicians of Europe, there’s nothing to be proud of. All of Der Spiegel’s  ten-most dangerous politicians are euroskeptics as well as Islamophobists, populists and even quasi-dictators like Prime Minister Orban of Hungary.

Writes PS MP Reijo Tossavainen on his Uusi Suomi blog: “In my opinion Timo Soini is right. I am satisfied, and even somehow proud, that Soini as well as other Perussuomalaiset members have been against [euro bailouts]…I am pleased that the same trend is evident in other parts of Europe as well.”

I wonder what medicine Soini, Tossavainen and others of the PS will prescribe to Europe if the euro becomes history and we slip into a deep recession.

Will they step up their attack on the usual scapegoats like immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals and other minorities?

I’m afraid that’s happening right now.

 

Finnish youths with immigrant backgrounds are the new underclass

Posted on August 5, 2012 by Migrant Tales

A new map published by Statistics Finland shows the percentage of marginalized youths (15-29 yrs) by regions. It not only shows a growing problem in this country, but an especially serious one among youths with immigrant backgrounds, who have a much higher chance of being marginalized than white Finns.

A marginalized youth is anyone who is unemployed and not attending school after finishing middle school.

The black boxes are white Finnish youths and the yellow ones youths with immigrant backgrounds. They show what percentage of youths (15-29 yrs) are marginalized from the whole age group.

The highest number of marginalized youths with immigrant backgrounds are n Kainuu (28.8% with immigrant backgrounds versus 3.4% white Finns), Kymenlaakso (26.1%/5.1%), Lappi (24.4%/3.8%), Etelä-Savo (21.7%/3.7%), Pohjois-Karjala (21.3%/3.0%), and Pirkanmaa (21.0%/3.5%).

The lowest percentages can be found in Etelä-Pohjanmaa (12.4%/2.6%), Etelä-Karjala (15.8%/4.1%), Keski-Pohjanmaa (16.0%/2.8%) and Satakunta (16.6%/3.9%)

What do these percentages tell us?  In my opinion, they show that we have failed miserably to integrate and accept people with immigrant backgrounds as equal members of our society.

How many of these marginalized youths with immigrant backgrounds have lived the majority of their formative years in Finland? Why do some, after living most of their lives in this country, still feel like outsiders?

While being marginalized is a complex matter that is attributable to many factors, probably the first step in becoming part of this underclass is accepting that you do not belong here. You start to believe that Finland is a country made only for white Finns.

If there is a neglected underclass in Finland, they are the youths with immigrant backgrounds!

Racism Review: Gabrielle Douglas – Accenting Black Women’s Talent, Agency, Femininity

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Migrant Tales

By Joe

Anna Holmes has an excellent post on the great achievement of Gabrielle Douglas, the first African American to win the women’s all-around gymnastics gold medal in the Olympics. (And to win the two particular gold medals she got in this one Olympics.) What an achievement for any 16-year-old, but especially for one who has faced the barriers she has faced.

Holmes demonstrates the extraordinarily naïveté and role in systemic gendered racism of key white commentators, in this case the famous Bob Costas. Costas interviewed Douglas and asserted this:

“You know, it’s a happy measure of how far we’ve come that it doesn’t seem all that remarkable, but still it’s noteworthy, Gabby Douglas is, as it happens, the first African-American to win the women’s all-around in gymnastics. The barriers have long since been down, but sometimes there can be an imaginary barrier, based on how one might see oneself.”

As you might expect, this type of white racial framing, in its colorblind Pollyanna-ism, was Holmes’s
main target:

In a political and cultural environment in which the patriotism—the very Americanness—of people of color (including the current president…) is often called into question, Costas’s scripted deep thought .. . was at worst dishonest . . .. What leveled barriers … was Mr. Costas referring to? Who, excepting the most Pollyanna-ish or cloistered … would believe the assertion that Gabby Douglas’ challenges were primarily psychic, a statement that can be contradicted by … the undeniable whiteness of being that is high-level American gymnastics?

Other writers echoed this same white racial framing, reverberating Costas’s colorblindism.

Holmes then picks up on the Costas point that our view of ourselves does makes a difference. But, she adds, structural situations often create that problem for people of color:

Douglas’ triumph seems extremely remarkable, both because of the commonality of her situation—the big dreams, the economic hardships, the one-parent household—and its unusualness: A minority in a historically “white” sport. . . . a 2007 diversity study commissioned by USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for the sport in the U.S., said that just 6.61% of the participants in American gymnastics programs were black.

Numerous members of USA Gymnastics, the mostly white coaches and other leaders in the field, often had a negative reaction to this honest report. Many whites there and elsewhere have tended, as they often do, to blame everything but white agents and white decisionmakers for this systemic-racism condition.

Holmes concludes by accenting how powerful the Douglas achievement was, especially for girls and young women around the globe, most of whom are girls and women of color. It will be interesting to see how the mainstream media treat Douglas, and the general white (and other) public too, when this great gymnast and her fine team return to the United States. Holmes concludes with this fine sharp point:

The 16-year-old’s triumph—not to mention her poise, her maturity, her focus, her elegance—will help recalibrate what young females of color believe is within their reach, while also influencing Western ideas and concepts of black womanhood, strength, agency and femininity—which has been historically objectified, sexualized and, it should be noted, feared.

It is way past time for these negative images of black women in the common white racial frame to be attacked for the mythological and racist framing they have always been–and indeed attacked constantly in the mainstream media until they are eliminated in the heads of way too many white (and some other) Americans.

Using rape statistics to fuel ethnic prejudism and racism

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Migrant Tales

This week’s A-Studio report on the ”high” number of rape convictions of foreigners in Finland, and another one published by Tampere-based daily Aamulehti in April, not only shed light on “a problem” in Finland but expose the prejudice of the media and Finnish society concerning immigrants.

The exact arguments that the above-mentioned stories use to drive home their point are eerily similar to those spread by Finland’s anti-immigration groups.

A-Studio uses 25 rape convictions during the first five months of the year to suggest that there is a ballooning rape problem in Finland by foreigners.

While rape, like any crime, must be strongly condemned by society, such statistics should not be used to reinforce our prejudices of certain groups. This I believe is the underlying problem of both reports by A-Studio and Aamulehti.

Migrant Tales found out in spring that the author of the Aamulehti story, Toni Viljanmaa, is a freelance journalist. Did he offer the story to the daily on sensationalist grounds in order to get it published? We don’t know.

Whenever journalists begin to editorialize their news stories in order to drive home their personal views, it’s the credibility of the story that is undermined. Taking into account that a lot of journalist at YLE are card-carrying members of  different political parties, we do not know what sympathies the journalist of the A-Studio report, Tuomas Kerkkänen, may have for the Perussuomalaiset (the Finns Party).

After the A-Studio report was published on Wednesday, tabloids such as Iltalehti picked it up and asked if sex education shouldn’t form part of the immigrants’ integration program.

While new information is always essential for a newcomer in order to read more effectively the cultural codes of a group, these types of stories, which were even published by Joensuu-based daily Karjalainen, are just as offensive as the A-Studio and Aaamulehti stories. They imply that foreign men are prone to rape due to their ethnic background.

While most rapes are committed by white Finns in this country, why aren’t the backgrounds of these convicted rapists revealed with the same enthusiasm? Are men in Eastern Finland more inclined to rape than, say, in Western Finland?

Making such a claim would be preposterous especially when there are so few cases to begin with.

Lee Walton (@eclat521) retweeted this blog entry.  He writes: “ridiculous- as an immigrant should I have been “taught” that rape is wrong? It’s against the law in UK, & ALL other countries!”

A-Studio’s immigrant rape report: A prejudiced storm in a tea cup

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Migrant Tales

An A-Studio report on the “high” amount of rape convictions of foreigners in Finland is not only another unfortunate example of arbitrary reporting by the Finnish media, but reinforces the perception of how hate groups in this country use crime statistics against immigrants.  

Migrant Tales encountered another similar story about foreign rape cases in April by Aamulehti.  In both cases, it isn’t clear whether the rape cases are committed by tourists or immigrant residents.

What made the A-Studio report especially questionable were the very statistics it used to drive home its point.

In the very same style as hate groups in Finland, the A-Studio report claims that since a quarter of all rape convictions in this country were committed by foreigners, there is “a serious rape problem” in this country.

A while later, however, we learn that we’re talking about 25 rape convictions during the first five months of the year. We are even shown a table by A-Studio of the convictions by nationality. Of the 25 convictions, the biggest group are the Iraqis (7 cases) followed by Afghans (2), Nigerians (2), Swedes (2) and Serbian & Montenegrins (2).

Nina Nurminen, a prison psychologist at the Criminal Sanctions Agency, does not state in any part of the A-Studio interview that we are speaking of a small minority and that it would be wrong to conclude and label foreigners and especially Iraqi men as potential rapists. She does suggest, however, that people who come from war zones may be more inclined to rape.

A medic of the Family Federation, Miila Halonen, adds more fuel to the claims by telling us how Finnish women are “raped” without them knowing it. In other words, an immigrant meets a Finnish white woman, has sex with her and then dumps her. A friend of the immigrant calls the same woman and does the same thing.

Is Halonen implying that this is a form of “rape?” What about one-night stands among white Finns? Is it ok for a white Finn to do this but not acceptable if the person is a foreigner? How many of these types of cases is Halonen speaking of?

Like Nurminen, she too wanders off into generalizations labeling foreign men as preying on innocent women.

On top of her claims, she says that sex education should form part of the immigrants’ integration program.

Do you think that the A-Studio report was fair and offered a well-rounded story on the matter, or was it a prejudiced storm in a tea cup?
