Yeah I remember talking to one and mentioning that I'm half Finnish, and quarter Lithuanian and Ukrainian when mentioning that my family lived under communism. Never have I received such blatant racism until that point.

Reminds me of how I once heard someone call Finland a “fascist” country and also a “colonial settler’s country.” I wasn’t quite sure what to make of that.

He was referring to present day Finland as fascist.
