Do the Finns in the Swedish movement give budo-classess
or Tai-Ji lessons there?

I'm sitting on my tatami mat drinking mares milk just waiting for you to tell us just how Asiatic we are...

I've read Seekers (Geres) posts here and my conclusion is that he obviously has a very limited understanding of Finland and Finns.

It is not unusual among Swedes.

True as I stated it then. We are in agreement.

Tage Erlander had finnish roots from the Savolax region. The savolax finns immigrated to Värmland, Dalarna, Hälsingland and Lappland in the 16th and 17th century but kept to themselves in many years, some even until 19th or even 20th century. I have this kind of roots myself from Lappland. Many swedes has. I have heard around 10 percent but I dont know if this is true. According to swedish wikipedia between 17 and 18 percent were of savolaxish descent in year 1821-22. Many local names are finnish also.

Sorry, I mean 17-18 percent of Värmlands population was of savolaxish descent!
