Whoah. First I was like "O.O;;; that'd be scary" and then I was like "omg THE PLOT BUNNIES". Someone needs to do that, I don't care who.
And oh I know. >__> It is depressing. And lol whut ginger hair is AWESOME.
I really really feel bad for the Sámi people. But not that much for the Ålanders. xD; They are just rich, spoiled, privileged bastards anyhow. *cough stereotypes* No really, they have no worries over there really. The only "oppression" they have to suffer is three years of compulsory Finnish studies at school. They hate it, I tell you. xD;; But we have the same with our compulsory Swedish studies so they can just shut up already.
Oh, and actually Finland's Swedish people are like Finland and Sweden's child. Ålanders kinda are Finland's Swedes technically, but they are more like real Swedes by culture and dialect and everything so they don't really count. Finland's Swedes live in the mainland Finland and have a totally distinct accent and culture with tons of Finnish influence. Nowadays they even use so many Finnish loanwords that I doubt a real Swede would understand a thing about what they're talking about. Srsly. And mama papa Finland is totally spoiling him/her too... I think they have even been referred to as the most privileged ethnic minority in any European country. Oh and I'm not talking about just a couple of Swedes living in Finland, there are like 300 thousand of them and they have their own flag and everything.
