That was very interesting.

Finns do look a bit different from their Scandinavian counterparts, and also different from Eastern Europeans. Though the language is related to Mongolian they don’t look Mongol or Asian at all. And not Slavic either. Finns generally seem to have broad, rectangular faces and it seems 9 times out of 10 blue eyes. Their hair is blond, but it’s more of a pale blond, not a golden-blond. Of course there are those who have brown hair and eyes, but the blond-blue is by far the more common phenotype. They may sound like they look like Swedes or Norwegians but they really don’t; the face shape is subtly different. It’s kinda hard to see unless you look for it.

As a hockey fan I know who the many Finnish players are in the NHL and I’m able to pick up on this. There are lots of Swedes too and the two do look different.

Having lived amongst the Finns on the Oregon Coast, I can spot a Finn 9 times out of ten.
A hard working people, a bit different from run of the mill red-neck and good ‘ol boys thereabout, if I may say so.

We had two Swedish exchange students in my high school, they spoke perfect English, were girls ,and were as artfully crafted as young women can be. They did have blondish hair, almond blue eyes and were rather curvy and and athletic.

Don’t the Finns and Swedes overwhelming believe 9/11 was an inside job?
