World in my eyes

A Chinese girl's magical life in the world,especially about her beloved homelands-China and Finland.

Ok, I have heart too much from my friends about this topic : "Racism in Finland about Chinese".Based on this a bunch of similar problems stand in front of Chinese and become one of the reasons stops them coming to Finland when they really wanna come or turn into be one of main reasons for those people who are already living in Finland not to be happy with a lot of complains in everyday life.


Being as a Chinese, i admit, there are racism in Finland,and I am quite sure,there are a lot of finnish have this kind of thinking in their minds.But WHERE ISN'T?Chatting with all my friends who are from USA, UK, Astralia, Holland, Brazile, Sylbia, etc. One conclusion is extremly clear: "RACISM?! EVERYWHERE!"If Chinese think there is no racism in country K, that is completely wrong.Think about how local people in country K treat black people,much worse than Finns .Finland is acturally one of the best places for foreigners to live in. At least most of the Finns dont really show their racism out even though they might really hate some foreigners inside. Otherwise it would make themselves looked really bad.From my point of view,it means partly well-educated.There is a huge difference between saying out and keeping silent.

So if racism is everywhere, the only way to deal with it is to FACE it.Then how to face it?

First of all, look at ourselves always always first when we get some unhappy faces from Finns and think did we do anything improper?we have to admit that, country K is a developing country,from most areas in country K there are still far away from developed countries. No matter physically or spiritually. That is the fact, no need to blindly overprotect it.What we need to do is to find them out and try to fix them ASAP. It also works on personally behavior when we are in Finland.Why?Because we are in Finland! Do what locals do is also following an old saying in country K. And it is also necessary to think about the reasons behind locals' behavior,since it is easier for us to understand what we are really following to.

Secondly.After we try our best to respect, understand, follow what locals do. Then racism, forget about it. There are this kind of people,they only think Finland is best place in the world;there are this kind of people who just happen to dislike Asian people; there are people who maybe just hate country K and people who are from there,which is partly understandable, not every person from country K behaves nicely abroad. Even I am in many situation shamed on what country K people do in public or what in their mind,then what we can expect other people think about us? Fall in love with us?!Funny. As a conclusion.Some Finns have thousands of reasons to dislike chinese,some of those are reasonable,some are stupid.For those reasonable reasons,as long as we get to know them--change ourselves;For those ridiculous reasons.Forget about them,cause they are none of our business anymore,don't put other people's faults on ourselves. There are much more reasonable Finns, go and have fun with them. Being with nice and reasonable friends,we can learn and change much more which means less and less Finns will have problems or racism with us.

Racism is bad and sad for sure,but that is life,plus not all unhappy things happening there is about racism.Even though racism is around us everyday,it still doesn't mean we need to take it.Try the best to improve ourselves is the only thing we can do.Other things,leave them to time and racist!
