>>18254379You can't call it colonizing. That would upset Fennoswedes, who have always been there.And you can't call them Fennoswedes either, that would upset them. They're Swedish speaking Finns. Who have always been there.But never ever call then Finns.Also never ever distinguish them from Finns.
>>18254581Half of them are Swedish settlers who also learned Finnish and the other half are just Finns who switched languages and cultures
>>18254581>>18254773Like 15% of all Finns were primarily Swedish speakers in 1917 when independence was declared. Now it is under 5%. My great-great-grandpa was a Swedish speaker but his kids were not.
>>18254773Calling them Swedish is offensive.
>>18254581I call all of them Chinaswedes

>>18255953Also the coast of Finland was already very Christianized from the East. Swedes just forced them to be Catholics now instead of Orthodox. That being said there were clashes with the Finnish pagans inland, the Tavastians in particular resisted conversion violently at first.
>>18255911There definitely are finns who look asian, or at least mixed race, especially in the east and north. But yes, throw a dart at finnish population and you'd get a guy with less than 5% non-european ancestry
