A Facebook comment made about "dark men" in a local group by a high-profile Helsinki politician has caused a storm on Finnish social media. Although the man himself failed to see anything "racist" about his words, he chose to apologize.
Vice President of Helsinki City Council Harry Bogomoloff of the center-right National Coalition Party has triggered national outrage with a post he made in a closed Facebook group for inhabitants of the Kulosaari district, the national broadcaster Yle reported.
In the seaside park (northern shore), there were three Balkan-dark men hanging out without any reason to be there. This is information for all," Harry Bogomoloff was quoted as writing by Hufvudstadtbladet.

Why does your thread say Russian politician, when in fact he is Finnish?

Well I guess some leftist and immigrants took it as racist, but I can assure you that in among normal Finns it is not. This Russian may thinks tho, but I'm not sure. Anyway Finns were appalled at Russian comments.

Could be Russian Jewish. Usually Russian Jews have those kind of names in Finland.
