I guess I should have a page like this...

[edit] Finland-Swedish

Yes, so we can talk to you... ;-) Your suggestions for changes to the article seem very good. I've thought of doing something on those lines for quite a while. I especially like this:

In general, Finland-Swedes consider themselves to be just as much Finnish nationals as the Finnish-speaking majority, i.e. they support Finland in sports, consider Finland their home country and themselves a part of Finnish society but they have their own identity, which is distinct of that of the majority (and wish to be recognized as such).

Since you wrote it, please insert it into the article! Thanks - --Janke | Talk 17:17, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnicity

I think this whole section about ethnicity should go, or at least be entirely re-written. I've never met a Swedish-speaking Finn who has considered him/herself anything other than a Finlander. Even all Ålanders I've talked to don not consider themselves Swedes.... --Janke | Talk 19:17, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
