You lived there for a couple of years and you haven't seen any blacks or asians in Helsinki?

Because every time I travel north I notice quite a lot of them compared to here in Tallinn where there's virtually nil of both.

There's certainly enough of them there that I keep hearing angry anti-immigrant sentiment from finns.

Edit some examples:

No, I didn't say that - what gave you that impression? Did you read the grandparent?

Finland is also not just Helsinki, you know.


oh, you didn't indeed. I just thought we were arguing here whether Finland had enough immigrants for them to make a dent in education statistics. And the answer is resounding yes.

also, Helsinki clearly isn't the whole Finland, but most African and Asian immigrants do live in Helsinki.
