Finns have never been humble, perhaps Finnish immigrants are/have been oppressed in America. Small Finnish nation was the backbone of Swedish army during hundreds years, Finns have fought against Russians about 1000 years usually with good success, and never let them convert us to their society, like many other bigger European nations humbly did.

I think that after the Civil War, many of the socialists from Finland fled to America. So the deal with many of the early 20th century Finnish immigrants was actually that they weren't humble, so to say . So as soon as they got to America they started to organise strikes and stuff to better the working conditions and salaries, which led to them having a bad reputation as trouble makers, which meant that people wouldn't hire them.
