A visit to Stockholm - Gamla Stan, snus and surströmming. SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/S9N4TS WATCH PART 2: • Joe Goes To Sweden (Pa... WATCH MORE JOE GOES - bit.ly/Rq912L Shot by Matt Friedman - / sapheadpictures
Fins and Swedes have much of the same genetic stock. The Finns have the purest Nordic DNA, but it's intermixed with about 5% steppe-mongoloid. I think the same is true of the Swedes, but to a lesser extent. It's why Benjamin Franklin refers to Swedes as "tawny," and "swarthy." Many have a reddish hue to their skin.
That is totally not true, you are talkng about sami or something. I really dont understand what you are talking about, thats retarded. Sorry, but it is Swedes are germanic people who has been pretty isolated. Finns are not germanic at all. But of course, many finns have germanic blood because it belonged to Sweden for houndreds of years
Ella Kezza yes the country is beautiful but some Finns are as arrogant as some americans. Still remember when i was in college and we was to Åland and the guide said that before it was decided that Åland should be finnish tgey had asked the Åland citizens and almost all wanted to be Swedish but the UN decided otherwise. These finnish girls sat in the bus and insulted Ålänningar and said "but now it is finnish and we can do whatever we want with it".
@@zeffe0528 yeah, a hundred years ago. Åland has been autonomous for almost as long as Finland has been independent. That comes with privileges that I doubt Sweden would have granted.
Joe visits Finland and the main phrase was: "Swedes are gay lol". Joe visit Sweden and the swedes are like: "Yeah, we're pretty gay, we are a gay nation" kek
Simon Forsgren Haha! It was a brilliant answer! The swedes are like "they're saying we are gay? Is that supposed to be some kind of jibe? yeah, sure, of course we are gay. Out and proud!" Lol
My best guess is this: at 60´s Finns immigrated to Sweden seeking for jobs. I bet Sweden was more open minded country then than Finland and when homosexuality was maybe more open idk, Finns were having a big time culture shock. Homosexuality was classified as illnes until 1981 in Finland. So basically that dude is repeating a thing that´s being thrown around for at least 50 years as an insult. Yes, it´s stupid and ignorant, hope he has educated himself since.
sini Karjalainen hejhej, just want to say that they are joking(yeah, i don't find it funny either), we don't actually think that way...and to be honest i don't think people from stockholm like anyone outside of well....stockholm / Sisterly hugs from Göteborg!!!! All scandis rule
He could've also referenced how Sweden let the Nazis cross Sweden so that Hitler could invade the rest of Scandinavia which is still pretty controversial there
So almost like Pennsylvanians call west Virginians hillbillies, ohioians call Pennsylvanians hillbillies. But west Virginia and Pennsylvania both hate Ohio!! It all makes sense now
Yeah, I've been to Sweden, and I'm quite sure that everyone heard us speak Finnish to eachother and no one was like: "Go back to Finland" or something like that
***** "finland was founded in the 18th century" Ouch... www.emersonkent.com/images/maps/europe_814.jpg See the yellow area up in the map? Finland / Kvenland existed at least 1500 years before Sweden was founded in 1530. Sveas squeezed in together with the Goths in an unnamed territory of Finland / Kvenland for hundreds of years. Finland / Kvenland is mentioned in the oldest Nordic Sagas - unlike Sweden - and is so old that we don't even know when it was first called Finland. The oldest archeological site in all Nordic countries is the Wolf Cave in Ostrobothnia and it is approximately 125,000 years old. The oldest fishing net known ever to have been excavated (calibrated carbon dating: c. 8300 BC) anywhere in the world, was found in Antrea, eastern Finland. Finns inhabited the entire Fennoscandian peninsula since the last ice age and the Swedes are just the offspring of the Finns and the Goths (who arrived to the Fennoscandian peninsula between the 4th-6th centuries). You want more?
***** LOL. In 2010 you had over 600 000 Muslims and over 2 million immigrants. It is well-known fact that Swedish origin are minority by the end of year 2049. You even have places like Rosengård and Rinkeby where Muslims are majority. 1 out of 3 people living in Malmo are Muslim.
All of us in sweden hate retarded stockholm. It´s a shithole full of nonrepresentative mentally ill people. Reform sweden from a dysfunctional monarchy into a lovely republic like normal countries.
Every country hates people in the capital.london is thought of in england as a bunch of snobby anti social bastards lol and as a place where nobody speaks English
+CoolerFin Are you serious inbred finn? That would mean we get 365 000 muslims every year in Sweden and thats not right. France has the largest muslim population in the West. It is true that we get a lot of muslim immigrants (About 25 000-50 000 a year) and i don't like that. But please stop spreading bullshit. Btw, you finns are the least white people in europe. You are on average 10% asian XD.
+HNorinder ah ok, i get it. It stinks at first but after you start eating it, it taste good, right !? It is just like the cod fish and the sheep cheese here in Portugal
I believe most Swedes and Finns are just joking around when they 'insult' or 'hate' each other, but there are always people who take these things too seriously. For me it's all harmless fun and more like a sibling rivalry than actual hatred.
This was a really interesting video actually. Being from Finland, there's always been this juvenile cultural hatred towards Sweden and I always figured it was one-sided and Swedes couldn't give a shit. Guess that wasn't true lol. I always saw Sweden as a more sophisticated and tolerant country, all the Swedes I have talked to online or otherwise have been really cool in general, but it seems like they have some really weird assumptions about Finns, just like we have of them. I wish we'd just all get along, I'm sure we'd have so much to learn from eachother! ♥
Those people in the video were obviously joking. We Swedes have this sibling banter with fins, Danes and Norwegians. Remember that a lot of Finns live in Sweden and have merged together with the Swedes. The Finnish are usually proude and say they are better so its always fun to tease each other. And ye judging by our history and current culture I think we are quite tolerant in comparison to the rest of the world :p.
@@QuickZ_ your prisons are like some 4 and 5-star hotel rooms in America lol (and where do the IKEA meatballs come from? Is it really the people who couldn't find the exit?) edit: (and do you guys get to go to Ghost concerts for free? If so, I'm moving to Sweden right away.)
We like to make fun of our neighbours, but we really do love them all. I have nothing but the greatest respect for you guys in Finland. You're a tough bunch of people.
Fast nej.. av alla finnar jag träffat (jag är halvfinne och är i Finland ofta så jag har träffat många) Ingen hatar varken Sverige eller svenskar. Sen självklart finns det dom som gör det men så än en gång finns det lika många svenskar som hatar finnar på samma sätt. Bara en jargong bland vissa grupper av folk som finns överallt. Men i allmänhet hatar inte finländare svenskar alls. Tvärtom, i en undersökning av Yle tv, ville en stor majoritet av finländarna alliera sig med svenskar.
I think that finnish girls look so much more beautiful than swedish girls. And they are so much more nicer too, at least they don’t talk shit about swedish people.
All of us in sweden hate retarded stockholm. It´s a shithole full of nonrepresentative mentally ill people. Reform sweden from a dysfunctional monarchy into a lovely republic like normal countries.
As a Finnish girl living in Sthlm, I really regret watching this video. Obviously a huge generalisation what I'm going to say and also of stockholmare but I've experienced swedes completely and alarmingly unaware about their own history and its connection to Finland. I heard while living in England ppl making funny jokes about the Irish but these ppl in the video were typical "harmless swedes", making rude comments, too blunt, shallow, up in their own asses to even try to sound funny. Never experienced racism before I moved to Sweden, but I've had my part, ironically in a neighbour country, after +600 yrs part of Sweden, having learnt Swedish at school and all the rest. Thanks 👌
I was born in Sweden with Finnish parents, I have never once experienced any kind of "racism", apart from obvious banter with my friends, maybe I'm just lucky to have grown up in a good area with decent people around me. The idea that Finnish People experience racism in Sweden is completely foreign to me
@@villiamroth5468 Before watching this video I thought the "feud" between Finland and Sweden was in good taste. But damn these people in the video were straight up mean about it. Unfortunately i have seen it happen here in Vaasa, Finland. Some Finlandsvensk people are so far up their own ass its unbeliavable. It goes other way around too. There is a slur for Finlandsvensk people called "hurri". Mostly its not used in a racist manner rather but some finns use it as an insult.
They're perfectly in tune with this "connection". You obviously aren't aware of that history yourself if you are somehow surprised. The fact that you use the word "connection" in the first place shows you're out of touch with that history. Do the Belgians and the Congolese have a "connection"? The English and the Indians? The French and the Algerians? Imperialism and colonialism are connections as much as there's a connection between a robber's fists or the barrel of a gun and the one being robbed.
Sweden is not racist but they are pussys. Did not help us againts soviets / Did not help to protect Åland / Only talk shit when finns are not around because they know they will get slapped like the soviets did. Thank you for the Swedish volunteers tho who helped us in the winter war.
Why all this hatred towards Finns? I see that we even have a guy from Iran bashing Finns here. Finns are our brothers even that we make jokes of each other. I'm half Swedish and half Finnish and because both of these lovely nations, I'm here to see this wonderful life. Sweden & Finland = Love!!!
Katja, you seem like you're offended mainly because you're half-Finnish. I actually have Finnish friends living in both Finland and Sweden. You firstly need to chill out when on RU-vid, and secondly, see the posts made by the person I'm trash-talking against - he hates all Swedes and is making both Sweden and Finland look bad with his racist and disgusting comments. He's also trying to make Finland look better than all other countries, so I merely put him in his place. If you don't do the same, then you're not doing your "Swedish half" any justice and should be ashamed of yourself. Also, I'm Canadian-Iranian. Get it right. As for "not wanting my kind" there, you're not the average Swede and you don't speak for them, and if this is your mindset then I'm thankful for that, because in the face of attacks on Swedish culture and Swedish people you basically turtle and ignore what is being said, and THAT is the kind of people we don't want in Sweden.
GeeDougg1 So you curse the hole nation just because there is this one dude saying bad about Sweden? You try to make yourself look better than him even that you look as bad as him to my eyes. You have so much hate and that is what I meant when I said that we don't need your kind of people here. People who have so much hate inside them. By the way, It's weird that you even say those things about Finland even that your own home country is so much worst. In Finland, they treat gay people at least like a humans. And Finns was the first country on Earth who gave women right to vote. They had a woman president and in a last election, there was a gay presidential candidate who was voted to second round. So when you say that Finns are backward trolls, you are so wrong that it makes me sick. They are living 21th century, something you could not say about Iran. I have talked.
"So you curse the hole nation just because there is this one dude saying bad about Sweden?" You don't get it do you?! We're trying to put him in his place and show him how stupid his hatred and prejudice against the Swedes is - and even then it's not me cursing at the whole nation, it's him! Have you even read any of his comments?! You either haven't at all, or you read his comments and are being biased and far less harsh towards his unprovoked and unnecessary hatred and racism, not just towards Swedes, but ALL people. If you can't see that then you need to take off your bias-glasses. Any comments myself and anyone else has made is meant to show that Finland and the Finns are no better and that if they're going to go out of their way to make such revolting, despicable, disgusting remarks, then they need to look in the mirror and see their own faults first because they have it at least just as bad! "You try to make yourself look better than him even that you look as bad as him to my eyes." No, that's B.S., and I don't even have to try to "make myself look better" than him - I've done no such thing, but it's funny because I think even you subconsciously know that I DO look better than him because my comments are in only response to his and even then they're still nowhere even CLOSE to being nearly as bad as even the milder stuff he's said - it's all very telling indeed! If after all of that you still think (or pretend) that I look just as bad as him to your eyes, then you're basically just showing and admitting-to your prejudice and one-sidedness - get off your high horse and stop trying to attack me just because you're half-Finnish. If anything, I should be more offended than all of you because I've got some Iranian and (through my Russian side) some Swedish as well, and his comments have been the absolute worst against all of those people, but apparently bias and racism are OK as long as they're not against YOUR people?! You need a check-up, from the neck up! "You have so much hate and that is what I meant when I said that we don't need your kind of people here. People who have so much hate inside them. " Well, I actually DON'T have any hate - you're seeing hate just because there were comments made by me in response to your racist buddy over there - get over it! I love all people and nationalities, but if any person of any nationality (including my own!) wants to start being stupid and racist towards people he or she doesn't even know, I'm going to start pointing out all the negative things about that person and his or her culture and people in order to show then that they need to get off their high horse and stop feeling so superior to everyone. READ THROUGH MY COMMENTS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! Some of us started out trash-talking and joking around and poking fun in a friendly way, but then people like 'CoolerFinn' came in and started being extremely hateful and racist and serious about all of it - that's why I changed my tune, and EVEN THEN that's bullshit that you say I'm hateful when I've shown NOWHERE NEAR the unbelievable level of hatred, racism and anger he shows towards people he doesn't even know! So, I'm sorry but you look terrible right now trying to single me out when he's the guilty party - you look extremely biased, and that means YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN HE IS! "By the way, It's weird that you even say those things about Finland even that your own home country is so much worst. In Finland, they treat gay people at least like a humans." No, what's weird is that you don't know anything about my country or culture, and then listen to the media and take their word as complete truth. First of all, which country are you referring to?! Iran, or Canada?! Because gay people may not be treated all that well by the GOVERNMENT of Iran (not the people!), and I don't agree with it. Similarly, in Canada gay people are treated like God's chosen people and treated even better than straight people and they're given more rights to do whatever shocking thing they want and still get away with it, and I don't agree with that either! If your country is doing what Canada is doing, then you're a part of the problem and no better than Iran's government! Besides, nice job associating a government with it's people - I suppose you hate all Israelis because their government is a genocidal asshole? Or I suppose you hate all Egyptians because their government are fundamentalist retards?! Are you READING YOUR OWN COMMENTS right now?! Do you have any idea how you sound?! Before you judge me and try to call me out for things I'm not even guilty of, maybe you should re-evaluate yourself first! By the way, both of my home countries are awesome, beautiful nations. One is rich with history, culture, poetry, innovation, and classical human rights and advances in thinking, and the other is younger but extremely forward thinking and advanced and a great place for people of all nations to come together and learn from each other. If you don't know anything about either of those countries and have never been to either, then maybe you should stop talking! At least I've BEEN TO FINLAND and SWEDEN and have STUDIED THE CULTURES AND PEOPLE! "And Finns was the first country on Earth who gave women right to vote. They had a woman president and in a last election, there was a gay presidential candidate who was voted to second round." Good! Good for Finland! Being in Europe and benefiting from the cultures and people around them and striving to develop is all well and good, but AGAIN YOU'VE MISSED THE POINT! The point is that relative to other cultures even the Finns can still find areas to be held back and behind in! You're not BETTER than the Swedes, Iranians, Norwegians, Germans, Canadians, Americans, French, Africans, Asians, or any others! Do you understand that?! Can you get that through your head?! So when you say that Finns are backward trolls, you are so wrong that it makes me sick." Oh?! THAT, makes you sick?! THAT?! Really?! So it's ok for yourself and your countrymen t be racist towards immigrants, Muslims, or even Iran, a country you know NOTHING ABOUT (and I mean absofuckinglutely NOTHING of substance!), but it doesn't make you as sick as me calling Finns backwards trolls to try to make a point with 'CoolerFinn'?! Besides, if everyone in Finland feels and thinks the same as him (which I know they don't), then it would actually (and ironically) prove that the Finns ARE, INDEED, backwards trolls! "They are living 21th century, something you could not say about Iran. I have talked." Wow! See?! You just proved that you don't know what you're talking about! How are the Finnish people living int he 21st century any more so than Iranians?! Again, you don't know anything about Iran! You don't know the people or their beliefs and intentions, and all you have is YOUR BELIEF (which may not even necessarily be objectively correct!) that your people are more "advanced"! Who is to say that what you believe to be a "modern" belief system or lifestyle really is?! It's just YOUR OPINION! GET OVER IT! But of course, funnier still, even then you're wrong because the people of Iran are very much like the majority of the people of Europe, so it SHOWS WHAT YOU KNOW (which is nothing!) when you talk about them! You HAVE talked, indeed - I just wish you would THINK, or READ and do some RESEARCH to form a better perspective and a less biased opinion than to just speak out of emotional frustration and say words that are completely untrue and mean nothing. Go home and think and revise all of this crap you're saying right now, because you're NOT sounding ANY BETTER than 'CoolerFinn'! You both sound just as far removed from reality, just as biased/ignorant/stupid, and just as self-absorbed as each other!
I agree. We were the same country for 700 years and they are our closest allied today. They are what stands btw sweden and the unpredictable russians. My gf is half finnish aswell. I'am one of those Swedes that have alot of respectt for the finns.
You know I’m not even from Sweden or Finland, but jeez for heaven’s sake talking abominations about other people, simply because you don’t like their country or there was a conflict between your countries years ago.... it’s disgusting !!!
Finns are often described as some kind of weirdos who don’t talk and who drink a lot and stab people who disagree with them with knives everyone carries with them always. This does not tell about Finns, it tells about the fact that the other Swedish people, specifically from Stockholm are not interested in Finland and the Finns. These stereotypes are from 50-100 years ago when Finland was an agricultural country and were mostly false even then. Since then there has been urbanization, digitalisation, EU, and whatever not and Finland tops most of the meaningful categories of so called good life. I would like to see our Nordic friends to update their knowledge about Finland. They would be surprised that we are pretty much the same as the other Nordic countries by mentality. I personally love Sweden, and therefore I decided to move and study there. However, as I was quite aware Stockholm residents' arrogant attitude towards Finns. Therefore, I decided to live in other cities like Göteborg and Umeå, and totally loved those places and people whom I had an honor to get to know during my 3 years stay in Sweden. In addition, many of my foreign friends whom I met in Sweden claimed the same, that Stockholm was the only city in Sweden, where they have ever experienced racism.
its called a joke. the like 700 000 Finns here tell jokes as well. I find it a good quality to have. several of my many Finnish friends always joke about having a knife in all situations and that it will solve the problem. Self distance is a really nice thing to have as well. We laugh a lot. You should to.
187onaPigeon what's wrong with Somalians u probably just racist. They just don't like Finland cause there close to each other and similar more than different like a rivalry
@jay sorry to hear that news bro, if its true then its so fucking disgusting seriously. Those motherfuckers dont deserve to live in open air now, just cut heir dicks and give them fucking life sentence.
Here are some instructions how to eat surströmming (properly). 1. Open the can under water to avoid the putrid odor. 2. flush it under the water tap to get rid of the broth 3. Cut the filet into smaller pieces instead of putting the 2ntire filet in your mouth (this makes it easier to keep it in, rather than spitting it out/vomit straight away) 4. Serv it on a piece of toast/flatbread (or any kind of bread) along with sour cream and chives (and a cold beer to flush it down with). If you do this rather than eating it straight from the can, i guarante that you will taste the difference ENJOY
CoolerFin I have been to Scandinavia ie Sweden and Norway and it is amongst the safest places in the world if you compare to my homeland Australia, US and the UK, did you know that a woman is raped every ten minutes in the UK and yet thousands of rapes go unreported and conviction rates remain low. While looking at videos about Sweden I took some notice on many trolls or clueless people like you that called Sweden the "Rape Capital of Europe" and it took me a few seconds to find out why Sweden is so high on the list is to primarily Sweden protects women against rape and violence in general which you can not say about other countries read below: In 2013, there were 5,887 rapes reported to the Swedish police - or 63 cases per 100,000 population - according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Bra), which is a 5 percent decrease from the previous year. The number of convictions have remained relatively unchanged since 2005, with approximately 190 convictions on average each year. There have been several international comparisons made, placing Sweden at the top end of the number of reported rapes. However, police procedures and legal definitions vary widely across countries, which makes it difficult to compare rape statistics. For example, Sweden reformed its sex crime legislation and made the legal definition of rape much wider in 2005, which largely explains a significant increase in the number of reported rapes in the ten-year period of 2004-2013. The Swedish police also record each instance of sexual violence in every case separately, leading to an inflated number of cases compared to other countries. Additionally, the Swedish police have improved the handling of rape cases, in an effort to increase the number of crimes reported. Raised awareness and a shifting attitude of crimes against women in Sweden, which has been ranked as the number one country in gender equality, may also explain the relatively high rates of reported rape. The Reason the rape statistics in Sweden is high, is because Sweden doesn't shame the rape victims, so people ACTUALLY report when they get raped to the police, rather than hide it compared to most other countries, it's something to be proud of. That Sweden would be the "Rape Capital" is nonsense anyone with a avarage IQ knows that developing countries in the third world has the most rapes and crimes comitted towards women. Sweden are the only country actually tending to rape victims and allowing them to come out. Heaps thank you Sweden, standing up for women. It is not a taboo to report RAPE or CRIME against women which it is sadly in most other countries around the world. The Ten Worst Countries for Women Today 1. Afghanistan: The average Afghan girl will live to only 45 - one year less than an Afghan male. After three decades of war and religion-based repression, an overwhelming number of women are illiterate. More than half of all brides are under 16, and one woman dies in childbirth every half hour. Domestic violence is so common that 87 per cent of women admit to experiencing it. But more than one million widows are on the streets, often forced into prostitution. Afghanistan is the only country in which the female suicide rate is higher than that of males. 2. Democratic Republic of Congo: In the eastern DRC, a war that claimed more than 3 million lives has ignited again, with women on the front line. Rapes are so brutal and systematic that UN investigators have called them unprecedented. Many victims die; others are infected with HIV and left to look after children alone. Foraging for food and water exposes women to yet more violence. Without money, transport or connections, they have no way of escape. 3. Iraq: The U.S.-led invasion to "liberate" Iraq from Saddam Hussein has imprisoned women in an inferno of sectarian violence that targets women and girls. The literacy rate, once the highest in the Arab world, is now among the lowest as families fear risking kidnapping and rape by sending girls to school. Women who once went out to work stay home. Meanwhile, more than 1 million women have been displaced from their homes, and millions more are unable to earn enough to eat. 4. Nepal: Early marriage and childbirth exhaust the country's malnourished women, and one in 24 will die in pregnancy or childbirth. Daughters who aren't married off may be sold to traffickers before they reach their teens. Widows face extreme abuse and discrimination if they're labelled bokshi, meaning witches. A low-level civil war between government and Maoist rebels has forced rural women into guerrilla groups. 5. Sudan: While Sudanese women have made strides under reformed laws, the plight of those in Darfur, in western Sudan, has worsened. Abduction, rape or forced displacement have destroyed more than 1 million women's lives since 2003. The janjaweed militias have used systematic rape as a demographic weapon, but access to justice is almost impossible for the female victims of violence. 6. Guatemala: The impoverished female underclass of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS after sub-Saharan Africa. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages. 7. Mali: One of the world's poorest countries, few women escape the torture of genital mutilation, many are forced into early marriages, and one in 10 dies in pregnancy or childbirth. 8. Pakistan: In the tribal border areas of Pakistan women are gang-raped as punishment for men's crimes. But honour killing is more widespread, and a renewed wave of religious extremism is targeting female politicians, human rights workers and lawyers. 9. Saudi Arabia: Women in Saudi Arabia are treated as lifelong dependents, under the guardianship of a male relative. Deprived of the right to drive a car or mix with men publicly, they are confined to strictly segregated lives on pain of severe punishment. 10. Somalia: In the Somali capital, Mogadishu, a vicious civil war has put women, who were the traditional mainstay of the family, under attack. In a society that has broken down, women are exposed daily to rape, dangerously poor health care for pregnancy, and attack by armed gangs. The ten best countries for women. Measures of well-being include life expectancy, education, purchasing power and standard of living. Not surprisingly, the top 10 countries are among the world's wealthiest. Also the safest countries for women. 1. Iceland 2. Norway 3. Australia 4. Canada 5. Ireland 6. Sweden 7. Switzerland 8. Japan 9. Netherlands 10. France
why do Swedish people not like Finland so much? what did Finland do to Sweden... lol im not Finnish but I do plan on moving to Sweden soon so I wanna know.
Nice to see so many openly racist people. Racism against Finnish people began a long time ago in Sweden, and took root really with the poor Finnish workers moving to Sweden from 50s to 70s. They were poor and did sometimes drink, fight etc. But these people are still harboring those lovely stereotypes, and I mean it didn't even look like they were just joking. I believe these people are actual racists, well kudos to you. Although this really does not apply to everyone, some of my best friends are Swedish, I'm from Finland. There is also this counter smallish hatred towards Swedes in Finland. I think it is OK when you are competing in ice hockey, but some of these were way beyond that and are not acceptable.
Yeah, I mean, we were treated quite badly by the Swedes in Finland for centuries, we were thought to be a lower race and not as intelligent, we were used as free work force and cannon fodder and our country was used for free resources for centuries. Everything went Finland ---> Sweden for hundreds of years so of course Sweden is much fancier than Finland is. We weren't even allowed to get education in our own language for a looong time and Finnish-speaking schools were shut down and in many places kids were punished for speaking Finnish at school. Today Fenno-Swedes get into universities more easily than others because their culture apparently dies if they don't stay overrepresented in universities and good professions, like they always have. They say things like "all the important people in Finland have historically been Fenno-Swedes" or "respect us for building this country" even though they didn't even let us have education in our own language and give us a chance to build our own country. Like we didn't even try and they had to do it for us. Even today Fenno-Swedes (who nowadays mostly identify as Finns) call themselves the bättre folk and often look down on Finns, they call us "ugris" (we are Finno-Ugric genetically, not Indo-European) and tell us we are jealous of them. It is considered to be an upgrade to marry a Fenno-Swede because they are often rich and prosperous and influential. Their culture is emulated and seen as more refined and civil than the Finnish culture. They are a minority but they are the opposite of oppressed. Most of them speak Finnish at least decently and they seldom live outside of the coastal areas, but everyone everywhere has to learn their language and if you don't, that may hurt your chances to get a good job. Even my own grandfather once told me Swedes were naturally "more graceful" than Finns. Seriously. That was nice to hear from your own gramps 🙄 I took a genetic test and found out I'm 20% Swedish and the amount of people who tell me they are jealous and want to be Swedish, too, is remarkable. Too many people also tell me no wonder I'm so beautiful because I'm Swedish/I'm not fully Finnish! Like oh okay, I also have 80% Finnish, it can't be because I'm a Finn? The Swedish beauty type (tall, very slim, blonde) is still the dominant beauty ideal in Finland because of history. We have sayings like "women in Turku are the most beautiful...". You know why? Because Turku has tons of Fenno-Swedes here. I'm from Turku myself and there are lots of beautiful women here in my opinion, I guess they can't be full-blooded Finns. Tons of Finnish men talk shit about Finnish women because we don't naturally look the way Swedes do but apparently Swedish women are so more beautiful. I wonder where that came from. Maybe we are just so ugly that this is the natural conclusion for anyone with eyes. I have been so proud of our old oral song culture and mythology and recently I read about the time Kalevala was put together. Apparently our national poet, a Fenno-Swede called Runeberg, admired the man who put it together, but he couldn't for the life of him understand, how a Finn could do such an achievement. "Only God knows how a man like that could have two Finnish parents". Nice, thanks man. The attitude of Fenno-Swedes summed up from the course of seven-something-hundred years.
@@СолнечнаяЛаска Being angry for the treatment received doesn't mean we Finns hate ourselves... it means we kind of hate the people who culturally abused us for centuries lol. You know you're actually victim-blaming, right?
Yeah, been there a few times when I worked on a ship, beautiful girls, but keep a low profile the people there don't like Americans, Tell them you come from some other place.
First off I know its a comedy show but the way they immediately started laughing at us Finns and mocking us... It just felt bad. I wouldn't have said anything like that if I was intervieved about Sweden. And like wtf we all look like men? Please Sweden, just try to be nice
+Bulvan I Han frågade inte hela Sverige om vad de tyckte om fiskarna. Dessutom klipper han till videon (jag skulle personligen inte sagt något om hur Finländare är feta). :)
And I wouldn't say anything like that about finnish people, and I'm a swede. And some finnish people would say shit like this about swedes. Point is there are assholes everywhere. Of course he chooses to include the clips where they shittalks finnish people because otherwise it would not have been "funny".
Don't be sad :( It is just absolutley ridiculous to hear these people say stuff like that. I'm swedish and I have never in my entire life met anybody who thinks ill of finnish people.
Sexually frustrated teens getting aroused from pretty girls and getting upset when they think that black/muslims are maybe having sex with them and they cant. (I dont think the "rape" is really the point but they know they cant complain about mutual sexual contact and thats why they talk about the rape..)
onjoFilms we don't hate Finns and they don't hate us. But sometimes like when Finland won against Sweden in Icehockey they did things that only Swedish fans do, like bathing in the fontain on Sergels torg which was very arrogant and only to promoke.
Muslims are like 5% of the population. Blondes are still unavoidable in Sweden. Like, half my class has blond hair lol (and the only "foreigners" in it are the two international exchange students, me being one of them). The homogeneity was actually a shock to me despite myself when I arrived here a few months ago, as a Canadian. I'm used to way more "ethnic" diversity.
Please continue making videos as “lily goes”. .. your video yesterday was something awesome that I’m sure took a lot of bravery to put out.. you have so many supportive fans, even after years of no content... so, please. Please continue making videos .. so many people would appreciate that so so much!
George Williams ouh let me drop you some information buddy. If you open a map you will see that Sweden has boarder with Norway and Finland and Denmark. Who you think will attack them. Then there is Finland with over 1000 km boarder with Russia. During 2WW Finland protected its only few deceits old independence against Soviet in two wars. Mean while every so lovely Sweden (and whole western world) pretty much just sent us some thoughts and prays. If you watch that map real hard, you can see that Finland still exits and it never got invaded and we didn’t really get any help with that. When our next door neighbours stopped fighting wars few centuries ago when they realised that Great-Sweden was not going to happen. Nowadays, Finland has mandatory military service for men (and women are encouraged to take part) which ensures serious enough army for country of 5 million people. Sweden in the other has quite...interesting army situation but shit they have to do. They have Finland as their geographical shield if Norway doesn’t choose to attack. So no, Swedes really aren’t doing much just having holidays for cinnamon buns and stuff. They even have very inefficient police and more explosions than countries in wars
Nonni Perkl Finland did get help from Sweden durning the winter war. Sweden sent troops, destroyed soviet aircrafts and took in MANY Finnish war refugees. Sure, they could’ve done much more, but they still helped. There were also many Swedes who willingly gave their life for Finland. Otherwise Sweden is a “None allied country”. If you didn’t know, Sweden and Finland are actively training with each other and have a really close military cooperation. Sweden is ready to send troops to Finland incase of an invasion. Sweden started to downvote it’s military after the cold war. You see, there was a time when the entire world compared itself to Sweden’s Air Force and it’s special designs. Sweden is also currently starting to build up its military again. But it’s not something that will happen over a night when you have been Downvoting it for the past 30+ years. the reason(s) behind all of the explosions in Sweden is thanks to imported criminals and irresponsibility by the gov. The story of why Sweden is where it is today is way more complicated than you can imagine.
juho väkeväinen I love Finland. I have a female friend who is desperately trying to leave Sweden...kind of understanding why after watching this. Not judging. Ok I am. A lot.
All of us in sweden hate retarded stockholm. It´s a shithole full of nonrepresentative mentally ill people. Reform sweden from a dysfunctional monarchy into a lovely republic like normal countries.
HAHA I really love how you managed to capture the essence of whatever pisses the Swedes off in such a short video. Having stayed there for a few months myself, you're awesome Joe!
***** i could be a dick saying that you can google it :P , but at least.... my family eats it with the traditional cooked potatoes, with some crispbread and butter, some eats it laying the fish parts with potatoes on the bread or just like on a plate and some fizzy drink of course, i could be wrong in some parts(because i dont eat it myself, tho i have seen my family eat it) but you dont eat it alone like many people on youtube have done :) , i hope that it answers your question , and sorry for my english :)
Ok i'm late with this comment BUT swedes(mainly people who live in stockholm) just saying that we finns are just like anybody else in Europe, there are skinny as hell people and then there are bigger people, just like in Sweden🤦🏼♀️ secondly swedish language is muchhhh weirder than finnish🙌🏼 maybe i just stop taking cruises from Helsinki-Stockholm-Helsinki since you don't want any finns in stockholm, b*tch be my guest👏🏼
just seeing this video makes me feel sorry for Finland. I have been there and learned a little but of the language. Actually the language is what separated Finland among its neighboring scandinavian countries. When I went to Oslo last month, all the Norwegians I met has all these things thay say about Finland like the typical drunk people, difficult and weird language, very distant people etc.
Killer Dude Race this, race that. The *human race is meant to be in *terra... Not a "race" is meant to be in a certain place in terra. Or else the evolution thing is pure bs, which you and I know it isn't
What exactly will you miss about the aryan swedes. because We will never be gone . just hit a little pump, in the future well be back We might invade your hometown tho. stealing your women and making sails of your skin . is that what you miss?
The immigration is not good in sweden but to send out 9 of 10 is crazy :P and there are alot of other things how is more important than send out the foreigners, many of the immigrants how come here to sweden have had a hard life (wars, natural catastrophes etc.) there are some extreminists how want to change the swedish culture, but there are not many of the immigrants how is extreminists how come to Sweden. but the problem with the government is they havent really take care of the peoples how live in sweden already, what they do wrong is put in more foreigners which is going crazy in this swedish society. some of the immigrants come from countries like Syria, egypt etc. ant some of them come to sweden and what happend next? the government dont take care of them = they live on the streets.. the problem is not the immigrants, the problem is the government..
Why all the hate for the Finnish? We are all European, which means we are all awesome! Greetings from an Italian (American). A.k.a., "The boyfriend." 😄
This is Why love Sweden: 1. Hot Chicks (Anna Nystrom, Zara Larsson and more) 2. Good DJ's ( Avicii, Alesso, Axwell, Galantis and more) 3. Koenisegg 4. H&M 5. DICE (One of the makers of Battelfield) 6. Zlatan Ibrahomvic 7. Spotify 8. Skype 9. Volvo and SAAB 10. Minecraft 11. PewDiePie 12. One of the Peacefull country And more Just love Sweden
1. Hot chicks are in every country. 2. Avicii is not a good DJ. Germany and Holland has best DJ's. 3. A cool car 4. Cheap clothes for poor people. 5. Battlefield 4 is a bug fest 6. Not really a Swede, only born in Sweden but his parents are Bosnian. 7. A cool thing. 8. Skype is not even Swedes, one of the member was Swedish but the company is from Estonia and now sold to USA. 9. Volvo is owned by Chinese and Saab is in bankruptcy. 10. Famous but shitty game for nerds. 11. Really, is he best what Sweden can offer to the World? 12. Not really peaceful. Lot's of rapes, riots and gang violence. Lot's of ghettos like Rinkeby, Botkyrna, Rosengård. You forgot about these: 13. Muslims
No historically(debated) Finns have central Asian(Mongolian) ancestry. That's why they've got a bit of puffy cheeks and and oriental looking eyes. Even up until 1908, US government didn't consider Finns as European.
If Sweden can get their immigration and refugee welfare disaster in check. They might be able to recover their lost glory as one of the most beautiful places in Scandinavia.
