Racism in Finland

A 2011 poll shows that 66% of Finnish respondents considered Finland to be a racist country but only 14% admitted to being racists themselves.[1] Minority groups getting the most negative attitudes were Finnish Kale, Somalis and Muslims.[1]

In December 2012 the Finnish Police reported an increase in cases of racism and related physical abuse.[2] In February 2013 researchers of racism and multiculturalism reported an increase in amount of threats and abuse.[3] In January 2013 Save the Children reported that immigrant children are facing an increasing amount of racist abuse.[4] In June 2011 a researcher reported an increase in amount of racist violence targeting children and teenagers.[5]
