Wednesday was a good day for racism in Finland.

MP Pia Kauma’s crusade against baby carriages is based on hearsay
National Coalition Party MP Pia Kauma has become quite a sensation after she accused migrant women of buying new baby carriages with welfare money. When asked on YLE’s A-Studio where she got such information, her answer was quite startling. ”Of course it’s very difficult to get factual information,” she said on YLE’s A-Studio, “but I…
Kokoomus MP Pia Kauma takes a cheap shot against migrants
With parliamentary elections nearing in April 2015, politicians will do almost anything to get attention. We heard Perussuomalaiset (PS) chairman Timo Soini state this week that his party’s ass isn’t for sale. National Coalition Party (Kokoomus) MP and Espoo city councilwoman, Pia Kauma, now joins this questionable group by asking why the municipality should help migrants…
Let’s take our identity back from the likes of Kauma, Kokoomus and the Perussuomalaiset*
It isn’t surprising that the National Coalition Party’s (Kokoomus) proposal to tighten social security guidelines between migrants and “white Finns” (kantasuomalaiset) has caused confusion. The answer is simple and hinges on the fact that ethnicity and race are social constructs. The mix-up over the use of the term kantasuomalainen has not only caught Kokoomus by…

Missä luraa vastaukset? Lahde: www.apu.fi Molempien väite yhdistä vahvasti ”me” vastaan ”he”. Miksi…
Unequal social welfare for forigners: The wettest dream of the Perussuomalaiset and National Coalition Party
Plans to pay migrants less social welfare planned by Prime Minister Petteri Orpo’s government are a wet dream that spans back to 2016, when then Social and Health Minister Hanna Mantylä aimed to pass legislation that would grant migrants less social welfare than native Finns. Fortunately, such a law did not see the light of day since…
Reija Härkönen: Kokoomus on sopiva puolue persujen aisapariksi
Kokoomus julkaisi heinäkuussa 2021 eduskuntaryhmänsä valmisteleman maahanmuutto- ja kotouttamisohjelman, jossa se ehdotti maahanmuuttajien ja kantasuomalaisten sosiaaliturvan eriyttämistä. Julkisen äläkän vuoksi termiksi vaihdettiin ”Suomessa pysyvästi asuva Suomen kansalainen”, mutta ohjelman rasistisuus ei siitä tietysti miksikään muuttunut. Kotouttamisohjelma sisälsi esimerkiksi rasistisen ajatuksen ”meistä kantasuomalaisista” ja niistä muista, jotka eivät ansaitse samaa sosiaaliturvaa, jos eivät löydä työpaikkaa. ”Työn…
