Usually I try to keep my head off, but
sometimes someone invents smthng so
crazy so that you have to laugh. but most
of the times racist jokes are quite awful ... “

GENERALISATIONS
“I'm not a racist at all.. I have few mates who
is dark skinned and very nice:) but I do not
understand immigrants and others because
they take jobs from us and they will come to
Finland just because they know they‟ll get
all the help and more. Also my mom is
unemployed at the moment.” –IRC-Galleria

EXPERIENCES
“Pretty basic stuff that some guys yells
„hey there goes the night roofs black
nigger‟, etc., and then there are other
situations eg elderly people keeps
distance to me and at the bus no one will
sit next to me, even tho the bus is full.” -

ANTI-RACISM
"Racism is ... is one of the things that I‟m
opposed to the bottom of my heart, don‟t

Racists. Peace & Amen! “ – Demi.fi
