No, delusional asswipe, it's 88% ethnic Nordic officially.

Heh. They count Finland as 5,6 percent Scandinavian (which actually is correct), but are including the Sweden-Finns in Sweden's number.

That definition is abandoned. Like my swedish-italian friend said: I'm a second-generation swede, not a second-generation italian.

Btw, there are plenty of people living here born in Åland or in Swedish-speaking Finland. According to statistics they are immigrants but I remember PTG said that they instead just had moved within their own culture.

Adopted are counted as foreign-born also.

My kids will not be of that 74 % swedes but sure as hell they will be swedes. My fiancée is from Finland you know (ethnic finn).

My gf wants to speak finnish with our future kids, simply because its natural for her. I wouldn't mind that, she said in Finland bilingualism is appreciated (unlike here), right Leminkäinen?

sgc2009, who has a mother that is a pure Germanic South Swede, and a phenotype that passes where he lives (and I don't think he speaks any Finnish either), does not identify as Swedish, as far as I know.

Nordic, not Nordid. If we are to regard Estonians as predominantly Nordic or non-Nordic, we need a good working definition.

Most anthropologists actually used the term Nordic. Bertil Lundman was the only exception, who coined the term Nordid. In any case, I was being sarcastic.
