Estonians are more "Western" than Finns culturally, historically, racially etc.

Infact Estonians are not more western, it depends how you measure it. They have same common old roots with Finns, Finns have had more western cultural connections during last century, though Estonians had this advantage earlier. Genetically Estonians have pretty equal amount of western affinity than Finns, though they have much less genetic Sami affinity and this is very understandable.
