En sanoo mitään A2 Pakolais-illan ohjelmasta, koska se oli pettymys minulle. Mielestäni siinä vahvistettiin enemmän kun haastettiin suomalaisten ennakkoluuloja pakolaisiin ja maahanmuuttajiin. Yksi asia joka pisti silmään oli ettei ohjelman vieraat, kuten kokoomuslainen kansanedustaja Susanna Koski sekä pappi Marjaana Toiviainen, tienneet ero sanasta kotoutumisesta ja kotiutumisesta. Kotoutuminen on aika uusi sanaa suomen kielessä ja se tarkoitta prosessi…

Like Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, like Timo Soini’s Finland
As the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* starts to implode with third vice president Sebastian Tynkkynen demands that the populist anti-immigration party exits government, its self-destruction will not be caused by outside factors but from within.
M. Blanc: Why immigrants are afraid to speak out in Finland
I wrote an piece about my experiences and stated the reasons why I have decided to leave Finland and how foreigners are treated by great number of Finns. I kept close track of how people reacted to what I wrote on Facebook and all of a sudden hundreds of foreigners were encouraged and agreed with my points and thanking me for speaking out. Of course there were those who started saying that I am the problem and I am lying to manipulate others. Some guy even compared me with Hitler!
Please explain, Prime Minister Juha Sipilä, what does “Finland isn’t a racist country” mean?
Standing together with four other Nordic prime ministers, Juha Sipilä states that Finland isn’t a racist country, according to YLE in English. I’m a bit baffled by Sipilä’s statement. What does Finland “not being a racist country” actually mean?
Rasismin valkoisessa ytimessä
Supremacy on elokuva, joka perustuu tositapahtumiin. Se kertoo äärioikeisto väkivallasta. Päähenkilö Garrett Tully on väkivaltarikollinen, joka vankilassa radikalisoituu uusnatsiyhteisön aktiiviseksi jäseneksi. Arjalainen Veljeskunta on hänelle yhteisö, jossa hän palvelee suurempaa tarkoitusta. Sen parissa hän on jotain. Sitä ennen hän oli vain oman kokemuksena mukaan piece of shit. 15 vuotta vankilassa ei tehnyt yhteiskuntakelpoiseksi. Päin vastoin….
Facebook: An essay on immigration and multiculturaism
I don’t know Dexter personally but I like what he wrote about Saturday’s demonstrations for and against asylum seekers. We are just as worried as you, Dexter, about the atmosphere in Finland.
What the Finnish media leaves out in a story is an editorial line just like silence is a political decision
In journalism it works in the following manner: Silence is what you don’t report and intentionally leave out in the story. That is a policy decision, or an editorial line.
Finnish government and the PS: Kid gloves and wishy-washy statements on asylum seekers and racism
There are a number of demonstrations planned today demanding that Finland shut its border to asylum seekers. What may surprise some is that the Perussuomalaiset (PS)*, a party sharing power in government, is organizing some of these demonstrations like the one in Tornio, a town located next to the Swedish border, according to tabloid Iltalehti.
When a Finnish-language teacher loses respect for her foreign students
What do you do if you are an asylum seeker that got a residence permit to stay in Finland and went to a Finnish-language course for a whole year? Everything is fine until you meet your first Finnish-language teacher who has no respect, never mind cultural sensitivity, for the your background and needs?
PS Ville Moisanen of Finland shows us the surreal yet ugly side of anti-Semitism and racism
Can you believe this type of reasoning from Perussuomalaiset (PS)* councilman for Sysmä, Ville Moisanen, who posted and removed two pictures on Facebook that insulted Jews, the millions of victims of the Holocaust and lynching of blacks by members of the Ku Klux Klan.
