Avoin kirje perussuomalaisille ja Timo Soinille
Koska meilläkin on unelmamme. Eilen olin yksi niistä yli 15 000 ihmisestä, jotka olivat Kansalaistorilla näyttämässä tukemme moninaiselle, monikulttuuriselle ja vihattomalle Suomelle. Me emme usko rasismiin emmekä salli rasismia fasismilla maustettuna tai ilman. Olemme asiassa todella yksimielisiä.

Defining white Finnish privilege #22: From racist, fascist to politician without memory
We saw a lot of white Finnish privilege during the April parliamentary elections and government talks, which include the anti-immigration Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party.
