Region Päijät-Häme, Tavastia by the lake Päijänne. In the article, however, they dropped the dots, resulting in Paijat-Hame... Meaning "shirts-skirt". Thanks for the laugh.

Also race war? In Finland? They do realize there's not that many people with foreign background anyways...? 🤨

Yeah, it's a real shocker that a society that good at keeping "others" out is racist... 🙄
What isn't a shocker, is that it comes as a shock to you..

Lmao are you seriously trying to imply there's some conspiracy in the Finnish society to keep "others" out instead of the fact that Finland was a poor shithole until relatively recently and people only really started moving in during the 90s which is also comparatively late
