(I mean, at least in the Metropolitan area) Earlier I waited in line at a shop in Helsinki and behind me was a large group of schoolkids, all various people of colour and all speaking American English with each other. It's a fairly common occurrence in Eastern Helsinki and makes you feel like you're in the US or Canada

It's interesting how quick things have developed just since I was a kid

I think it's cool but it seems to cause Finnish boomers enormous existential anxiety of the Great Replacement variety

    All our attacks will be in Japanese, at least. The kids don't seem to have a problem with subtitles since you can't hear shit without closed captioning nowadays.
