Tatar ≠ Gypsy.

Tatere

In no way related to 'Tatars'

So Taters are the Norwegian Gypsy diaspora, not something one eats.

Ok.

I think that a Sami forum would be a good.

There seem to be a lot of minorities in north-east Europe that are not widely known of, and I have a cursory interest.

I would imagine that many other people also have an interest.

My bad.

So Tater ≠ Tatar. Gotcha.

Stop comparing Saami to fucking gypsies.

I doubt any Saami want to join this forum anyway, too many nationalists here. The Saami are traditionally semi-nomad, and semi-nomadic shamanist people don't have a feeling for false man-made political borders of countries that so many here feel are something sacred. Having been victims of Western anthopological studies (imagine having your ancestors bodies displayed in museums as curiosities) I doubt they want to contribute to any sort of revival of racial anthropology which is tainted with 19th century pseudoscience.

It's too bad because I think they might have a lot to teach about preservation.

While I appreciate your perspective, Majar, I have to take you to task over this:

I myself can't think of a better way to ensure the preservation of any people than an ethnonationalist state. Country borders may be "man-made", but that doesn't make them false.

A majority of Sami are just like any other western average joe, they work nine to five jobs, they go home to watch tv, drink a few beers and yell at their kids.

Many Sami also don't like 'Svartinger'(Niggers) and other immigrants

Same-topp ut mot «svartinger» og homofile

BTW Sami are not semi-nomadic shamanist people anymore, less than 10% practice reindeer herding and most are Lutherans.
