Besides, and bit more seriously, most of Europeans (ethnics) simply sucks. Not all, but much too many. One way or another. Deal with that. So that is nothing like compliment.
Free tip for next time: If you really want to try to make Finns feel bad or not good enough ... using word Europeans will help very little. Nope, there would be much better word for that. But if you use that, lots of Europeans will be blocked outside as well.
She is only being a Frenchie.

Let us quote Gobineau, recommended by Haeckel the scientist, on Finns, then:
"creatures so incontrovertibly ugly and repulsive as the ordinary specimens of the Mongolian race… These are all people of low stature, with wide faces and prominent cheek-bones, yellowish or dirty brown in colour---The Finns have always been weak, unintelligent, and oppressed---in the south through miscegenation with the Negroes and in the north with the Lapps." (Gobineau, Inequality of Races (1853-55, 1967).
To cut the short of a less romantic drama, Joseph Arthur "Comte" de Gobineau (1816-1882) proclaimed that a Finn does not have a stronger desire than to have a man of noble blood to spend a night on his tent with his wife or daughter. Gobineau divided mankind in three races: the White, the Black, and the Yellow (the Good, the Bad - and the Ugly, in essence). The Yellow were extremely ugly, and the group included not only Finns, but also Mongols and Tartars. Finnish historian Aira Kemiläinen writes (1998 p. 85):
"Finns were a primitive aboriginal people in Europe and in Asia. They were short of stature and deformed. Their limbs were feeble and they had protruding cheekbones and slanting eyes. They were more yellow than the Chinese, who had the blood of the White race. How else could the Chinese have created a high culture? Even the Hungarians were 'white Huns'; they had White ancestors… In an Aryan society at the top were Aryans, in the second class were the Celtic and Slavic peoples and men and women of mixed blood. The deformed Finns were lowest."---"
