Arcturus Mengsk took care of them.

I can only imagine how sick you are of bad StarCraft references. :P

disliked for being finn in Switzerland?

...i dont remember for having any of that while i was in Switzerland for an year as exchange student.

weird.

Contatoss is rarer.

And now back to topic.

I dislike myself. Does that count? I also live in municipality that was voted agriest municipality in Finland. At least home town is best at something, right?

I totally object Finnish people myself. A bunch of weirdos, I say.

You guys are funny! So far, I'm seeing that the only people who dislike Finnish people are Finns, themselves. I'm still waiting for OP (TStael) to explain how exactly he/she got discriminated upon in Switzerland for being a Finn. I can't speak for all my countrymen but we really don't hate Finns in any way, take my word for it!

Let's put it this way:

When I attended public grade school, I was targeted by both black and white bullies for being part Asian. The black ones were especially bad since they got away with it a lot more since the faculty thought it was "normal" for young black people from the ghetto to act like degenerates. Yes, racism goes more ways than just one and before anyone asks, I grew up in a northern American state as suppose to the ones that we're expected to believe are racist or "backwards" yet I have seen plenty of northerners act like complete degenerates, bigots, and hypocrites.

Later when growing up and after becoming an adult, I have been accused of racism just because I support the concept of "white pride" with the term "pride" meaning taking respect, comfort, and/or pleasure with something about oneself. Also whenever I complain about illegals in the US or troubles related to immigrant rapists in other countries, I get accused of bigotry just because I told facts.

Basically, I learned the hard way that those who claim to be "anti-racist" or "pro-diversity" happen to be the most bigoted and judgmental of all especially the ones who complain about "white privilege" as if the coal miners of West Virginia and Pennsylvania always had it so easy just because they were of European ancestry or the ones who hate southerners or anyone of religious value.

In some circles, I'm disliked for what I am. The "snap out of it" brigade tend to mutter disapprovingly at my name, whilst holding a fine glass of red and talking about their latest ventures.

Not that sure - but in case of doubt, you should be quick to move to CH before the Masseinwanderung quotas are put in place, and find out for yourself, eh, lol.

It is my suspicion you might find your emphathy sharpened and your self-like heightened when you observe that others are happy to dislike you very ignoranty - you think you have good reasons to dislike yourself, eh, or not? What is that? U unkind, u disloyal - or what?

Then again, I have also come to think that it is rather hard to settle into Finland. Even coming back there after 10+ years away would probably be hard, actually.

I should like to think that the elegance and kindness of intent matters less, than actual execution.

Though... what I saw in Milan when I was also very young pup, and on my first ever long-distance trip, indicated to me that the Italians can be most impressive as coming across as elegant in terms of looks, the most splendid of persons.

But on my later years, I have come to think that the best Italians have more poetry and strong softness in their souls than any others, easily.

Is your intent kind? Do you assume we humans are pretty ok, as it goes? Do you self-disclose your doubts? Do you think you are a fine friend to have?

Think of these questions - I am pre-desposed to think sensitively disposed Italians could be the best persons to know, but maybe not the most easy ones to find.

A Finn is a Man or a Woman hailing from Finland. Bit rigid and weird on the surface, possibly, but a most loayl of friends upon won over. Unless we get about stabbing someone drunk, but this really is mostly amongst our fellow men! And not quite so efficient, as, say, with, Borgias, eh... :-p

Snap out of what, exactly? What is the behaviour that might earn you disappoval, as opposed to be asked to share the fine red?

There are two types of people in this world, those that hate me and those that don't know me. ;P

If it comforts you, I was bullied for seven years or so thoughtout the comprehsensive school just not riding on the top of the Bell Curve - I had my own personality, nothing else was needed.

But rest assured: I am fully Finnish by desendance, Lutheran by ethics, with a Taiwanese, an Amercian, a Belgian deepest friends.

Yet those fellow-Finnish bullies have never made me think worse nor less about "whites" or my countrymen or myself - or anyone else.

Pray share with concrete examples how anti-racist cum pro-diversity persons are the most bigoted??
And what is so hatable about you, for the priviledged few who might know you, then? Or lovable, eh?

Ah, trust, awalterj dear, we Finns are rather capable in seeking out our own faults - but I do not think this makes us objectively dislikable, possible something else.

But also: you did not counter the fact that my Asian friend gets village dialects repeated back at her slower and lowder, when Hoch Deutsch would be rather well understood by her, and surely known by her Swiss colleagues as you stated.

Or is this just rather Olten (and commuters) type of behavior?
As a fellow Finn, I think I can most certainly ask you: what about Somali refugrees, a weirdos too, or what say you?

I don't know. I think I'm a super great guy. My best guess is that I treat complete strangers like best friends, which I guess comes across as though I have some sort of ulterior motive.
