they have very strict immigration and citizen policies also, as well as handling illegal immigration. They are not blowing their money on other countries' wars.

Good stuff. Let's get that 90% to 99%! Then the Karelian Isthmus! Long live the Finns and Finland!

Kalsarikänni is the Finnish concept of taking off your pants and getting sloshed on your couch. The term roughly translates to "pantsdrunk" and means drinking at home, alone, in your underwear.

So...you're saying they are not a very homogeneous country ethically?

So, they are homogeneous AND they are according to the survey they are the "happiest country in the world". Point made. I guess happiness is not dependent upon diversity. Point to how that is super racist.

I will gladly point out how it's super racist.

You see that they're the happiest country and then you immediately connected it to being homogeneous as the sole driver of that happiness.

You didn't say "oh, well, they have a strong social safety net with access to quality universal healthcare. That's why they're happy."

You didn't didn't say, "oh, well, they have universal free education, that's why they're happy."

You didn't say "oh, well, they have amazing scenery, take steps to preserve it, and spend a lot of time out in it. That's why they're happy."

You didn't say "oh, well, they have a population of just over 5 million people, so that's a very low population density so they don't have to deal with overcrowding or housing issues."

You didn't say "oh, well, Norway has a strong work/life balance ethic that focuses on family time. That's why they're happy."

No. You didn't say any of that. You went straight to "They're happy because they're all white people."

That's how it's super racist.

Or maybe people just enjoy being around their own kind?

Perhaps if we connected it to culture, rather than race.
Diversity of culture, means a vast diversity of values and opinions. People are naturally happier/ more comfortable when the values and opinions of those around them align with thier own.
Values in the U.S. vary so greatly that even a statement like "Stable two parent households are better for society" is somehow considered controversial.
And is is stressful living in a society where you might be attacked (physically, not just verbally) not just for having the wrong opinion, but having the wrong skin color.

Race and culture go hand in hand most of the time. You see it vastly more in the Asian population, but they do have a far greater appreciation of their own culture than many of the other races.

It may not be you, that's why the first you is in those marks like this 'you'.

But I do want to point out that you're defending a racists point. Not defending his right to same something. You're defending the point itself.

If you feel that you don't agree with that point, maybe take some time to consider your actions.

If people in general were not happier around their own kind, then they would not congregate and make pockets of their own ethnicities. I gave you examples of all races of people in my City of chicago that are happier among their own kind, Some to the point, that if you come into their neighborhood and you are not part of their culture, you'll get your head peeled. Its not racist, its human.

Sure, I agree that people feel comfortable being around other people who look and act like they do. Especially in situations where they have immigrated to environments where there are many people who don't look and act like they do.

What makes it racist is that he connects that Norweigians are white people to their happiness.

He doesn't connect it to their healthcare system, which is free and universal. Nor to their education system, all the way up through college, which is free and universal. Nor does he connect it to the low population density. He doesn't connect it to the steps Norway has taken to reduce income inequality. Does he mention, that in 2020 there were only 3,000 homeless people in the whole country? Nope. Does he connect it to the amazing scenery and the lengths that Norway goes to ensure that scenery stays amazing and that people spend a lot of time out in it? Nope.

He doesn't connect it to the fact that Norway makes sure that everyone is fed, housed, healthy, educated, and gets plenty of family time at all. He went straight to "Norway is happy because it's all white people."

The point is not racist ffs, dude. People naturally congregate with their own kind. You can see it all over big cities, Right here in chicago with have "little Italy" , We got "China Town", Up from 95th and Cicero to about 120th is all Irish, Then go into the city itself Near me and you have solid blocks of Mexicans, then 10 blocks over you got the blocks that are all black, these people move in with their own kind. Its not racist and you need to stop using that word because your kind has watered it down so much it has lost its meaning.

that he connects their happiness to their homogeneity is what makes it racist. He's claiming they're only happy because they are all white people.

He didn't say that they're happy because they have a strong social safety net, universal healthcare, universal education, or a government that takes steps to protect the natural landscape around them.

Nope, he went straight to 'they're all white'.

yea because people never want to live with their own kind. You never see areas of cities form small pockets of one race or another. Its just me being racist. fdhoh
