Wrong. I am not talking about people who post a lot of racist trash like from the far-right Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party. I am specifically talking about those who claim to be against racism but are unwilling to challenge institutionalized racism and suffering, in many cases, from white fragility.
Our system of institutional racism has so much impunity in Finland that it has not only given birth to the PS, one of the biggest parties in parliament but ensured its growth.
Institutional racism is so “normal” in Finland that few take it seriouslsy, never mind those public services that are supposed to protect our rights. It explains why people with diehard racist ideas can camouflage their bigotry with the help of institutional raicism, and why they get money and support for projects that are supposed to challenge racism and improve the lives of Others.
Instead of challenging racism, such projects perpetuate it.
If you want, I can give you a list of some of the worst spreaders of racism in Finland: the PS, Kokoomus, Christian Democrats, and all the parties, the police, Riikka Purra, Jussi Halla-aho, Wille Rydman, Ano Turtiainen, and a very, very long and shameful list of others.
Ever wonder why the media gives such people so much space to spread their views and rarely asks Other Finns their opinions?
As more people from different cultures and countries move to this country, the more racism will raise its ugly head. The reason is simple: there is little serious opposition to such a social ill.
All hell will break loose in the future eventually when enough non-white Finns begin to demand their rights and, lord and behold, power.
Do not fool yourself. Nobody will give our dignity and rights if we do not demand them ourselves.
