(I mean, at least in the Metropolitan area) Earlier I waited in line at a shop in Helsinki and behind me was a large group of schoolkids, all various people of colour and all speaking American English with each other. It’s a fairly common occurrence in Eastern Helsinki and makes you feel like you’re in the US or Canada

It’s interesting how quick things have developed just since I was a kid

I think it’s cool but it seems to cause Finnish boomers enormous existential anxiety of the Great Replacement variety
