      finland's done fucked up things to the roma there especially in the 70s. maybe not The Worst in terms of european antiziganism, but still not great

          Roma kids were put in state-run housing up until later 1970s in the name of assimilation. Just lots of weird things in the name of "assimilation". Speaking the language was illegal too iirc. Also I've heard of Finnish Roma being put into "special needs" schooling for no real reason besides being gypsy (which happens in europe everywhere) even nowadays. Again though, Finland has done some good in terms of fighting against antiziganism. More than a lot of other countries, so could be much worse.

            yeah i always got the impression that they were doing much better mostly because they are also a minority language. guess it also makes you willing to fuck over other people
