Should Finnish people be seen as Northern Europeans or Arctic Europeans?

[Septentrion]

As Finnish people are one of the most unique people in Europe. Why don’t we refer to them as Arctic Europeans as they share some genetic links to the Saami or Reindeer people of the Arctic Circle? I think it is about time to give them their real place in Europe. We tend to just put them with other Northern Europeans such as the Scandinavians, British, Irish, Dutch, North Germans, etc… However, they are different!! Genetics studies prove it!

Yes, I am envious of their uniqueness. Arctic Europeans is special to me!

[Lemminkäinen]

BS.

[Satem]

Septentrion basing on genetics, not on lookism

I'm SHOCKED


Finns are Northern European cause geographically they are in Northern Europe, case closed
Ordinary people are basing such divisions on geographical location, not genetics, language etc

Northern Europe is Scandinavia, Finland, Baltic states, Scotland.
Geographically also Northern regions of European part of Russia can be included.

Yes, Finns are so anti- wog, they should be called something else. Compared to them other North Europeans are blonde Arabs.

I agree. All I asked if they should be called Arctic Europeans, because of their uniqueness and their northernmost origins.

Yes, but for over a thousand years Finland has been a Swedish province. In terms of everyday life, mindset, and esthetics, Finland was, still is, and will remain (in the symbolic sense) a part of Sweden. Albeit translated in a weird language.
