What about the Finnish genetic mission to destroy all alcohol in the world? By drinking it? /s
I love Finnish people and Finland.

From my Finnish perspective, doesn’t matter. If you’re Finnish citizen, you’re a Finn.
If you’re born abroad to Finnish parent(s), you’re a Finn. If you come from Zimbabwe and obtain Finnish citizenship, you’re a Finn.
Also you need to love licorice and sauna, that’s a rule /s

Me too. Hard to hate on a people whose country has one of the most humane societies in the world.

While what hue the people in your family tree are or where they banged shouldn’t affect how you define yourself and definitely doesn’t define who you are, it may convey information regarding cultural heritage.
Race may not be a valid means to form any kind of opinion about anyone regarding value judgements, but it also doesn’t convey 0 information about their context either.
For example if someone says they have 100% inuit ascendance does that mean nothing vs them saying their heritage is 100% british? Certain ways to see the world become more or less likely imo. Not because of their actual Race but because of the culture that tends to come with it. Just my opinion.

I’ve only met two Finns in my life, but they both assured me that licorice and sauna were on the citizenship application so I don’t think the /s is necessary.

On the /s, I somewhat unironically agree woth that more than the case of just obtaining citizenship
