or identitarian thinking

it's actively unpleaseant just thinking about myself as white and different as a consequence 😦

At least you can play the game. Some of us get lobbed around by the identitarians (all of them) and get screwed over no matter how we land.

Racism is dumb.

All this racial identity stuff is a way to divide people and get them to fight so that they can be better controlled.

If you're still thinking of yourself as X race, just give it up, it's holding you and everyone else back.

but you can't shame people into submitting to your demands that way

Sure you can. Report yourself for insubordination, citizen.

Discord would like to have a word with you.

What about ethnicity?

Basically irrelevant to anything that actually matters in life.

As it should.

Why?

I was born in Sweden and I've lived here all my life.

I'm sorry

I will never consider myself Swedish.

Because??

I'm a Finn. Of Finns.

Hate to break it to you, you're swedish

just like I'm American

but my family came over from England in the 1700s

I'm not Of English

If you've got a Swedish passport, your a Swede for all purposes of law.

The better question is: If you went "back" to Finland would you feel more welcome there?

I would think it would feel like a foreign country

different languages, etc

I'm a dual citizen. I'm welcome in either country.

Well that's different.

Swedish is an official language of Finland.

Finnish is an official minority language in Sweden.

doesn't mean everyone in Finland knows Swedish

I don't see what you're getting worked up over then.

Unless Sweden and Finland are that different.

Is this like the US and Canada where everyone's the same but pretend they're radically different?

It used to be 1 country, "2" peoples (one can divide these).

But for me heritage matters.

Roots matter.

In Canada you lack freedom of speech.

You have something there that's gradually getting worse all the time.

Because of the awakening of all these bad actors.

America was vaccinated for this shit. Canada wasn't.
