Africans in Finland

Africans in Finland (Finnish: Suomen afrikkalaiset) are residents of Finland of full or partial African descent, mostly from Sub-Saharan Africa. The distinct adjacent term Afro-Finns (afrosuomalaiset), also referred to as Black Finns (mustat suomalaiset),[3][4][5][6] can be used for Finns whose lineages are fully or partly in the populations of Sub-Saharan Africa ("Black Africa").[7][8] Afro-Finns have lived in Finland since the 19th century, and in 2009, according to Yle, there were an estimated 20,000 Afro-Finns in Finland.[9] According to Statistics Finland, the total number of people in Finland with a close African background[lower-alpha 1] was 54,450 in 2019.

History
Corporal Holger Sonntag in 1944

Finns reacted to the first Africans in Finland with curiosity and amazement.[10] During the 19th century, there were some Africans from the Americas who worked as servants for wealthy Russians in the Grand Duchy of Finland.[3] The first known African who received Finnish citizenship was Rosa Lemberg who came to Finland from Ovamboland in 1888 and received Finnish citizenship in 1899.[11]

Between the 1900s and the 1970s, the few Africans in Finland were mostly either students (for example from Nigeria and Ethiopia), political exiles from South Africa or people married to Finns.[3] In World War II (1939–1945), there were some Afro-Finnish soldiers, and among them were Private 1st Class Rudolf Prüss, who served as a ski patrol leader in the Karelian Isthmus and was killed in the Winter War, and Corporal Holger Sonntag, who was of African-American and German descent and served as a driver in both the Winter War and Continuation War.[12]

In 1990, during the Somali Civil War, the first Somali refugees arrived in Finland.[13][14] After that, due to their high total fertility rate and the high number of Somali family reunifications, quota refugees and asylum seekers, they rapidly became the largest African group in Finland.[15][16] During the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship held in Finland, most of the Sierra Leone national under-17 football team's players defected to Finland due to their country's poor conditions after the Sierra Leone Civil War that had ended a year earlier.[17]

Nowadays most people of African descent come to Finland from Africa, but many have also come from the United States, Latin America and other European countries. Especially Americans and British people of African descent have moved to Finland, mostly through marriage.[18]

Marriages and cohabitation

On 31 December 2019, there were 4,383 Finnish citizens who were either married to or registered as cohabiting with citizens of African countries. 2,706 (61.7%) of the Finnish citizens were women and 1,677 (38.3%) were men; for both sexes the largest groups of partners were Somalian, Moroccan and Nigerian citizens. The next largest groups for Finnish women were Gambian and Ghanaian citizens, and for Finnish men Ethiopian and Kenyan citizens.[31][32] On the same date, there were 4,553 African-born people who were either married to or registered as cohabiting with people born in Finland; 3,584 (78.7%) of the people born in Finland were women, while 969 (21.3%) were men.[33][34]

Afro-Finnish identity, culture and media

According to an estimate in 2009 by Yle, there are 20,000 Afro-Finns in Finland, and thus, they compose a much larger ethnic minority than many other prominent large minorities in Finland such as the Sami or Romani. The identity of Afro-Finns varies; some consider themselves Finns, while others have their own separate identity.[9] Some actively cherish their connections to Africa through their African relatives and cultures, while for others their connections to Africa are more distant but still relevant to them.[18]

In 2013, the dance performance Noir? by Sonya Lindfors became the first fully Afro-Finnish dance performance when it premiered at Zodiak – Center for New Dance in Helsinki.[35] Held annually since 2018, the Afrofinns Achievement Awards—presented by Afrofinns ry, an organization for "Finns and everyone else with African heritage living in Finland"—acknowledges, honors and celebrates the contribution of the Afro-community in Finland.[36][37][38][39] In 2020, Kelly Kalonji, Miss Helsinki 2013 and celebrity, and Obi-West Utchaychukwu, the editor-in-chief of Diaspora Glitz Magazine, founded the beauty pageant The Face of African Queen for young women of African descent living in Finland.[40][41]

Established in 1993, the magazine SCANDI-B was targeted to Black people in the Nordic countries. Printed in Raisio, Finland, it had a circulation of 7,000 in 1993 with Lammin Sullay as the editor-in-chief.[42] In 2010, Yle broadcast the three-episode documentary television series Afro-Suomen historia ("The history of Afro-Finland") about early Afro-Finns.[5][9] The multimedia Ruskeat Tytöt ("Brown Girls") focuses on Afro-Finns and other people of colour in Finland.[43][44][45] Its six-episode Afrosuomen historiaa etsimässä ("In search of history of Afro-Finland") podcast's first episode was broadcast on Radio Helsinki in 2017.[4] The Afro-Finnish Diaspora Glitz Magazine won the category of Best Media at the 2019 Afrofinns Achievement Awards.[46]

Racism
See also: Racism in Finland

During the 1952 Summer Olympics held in Helsinki, Finland, some condemned Finnish women's interests in "exotic" athletes and pressured Finnish women to "act appropriately" within the vicinity of black people, "neekerit".[10] The Finnish word neekeri (cognate with negro) was long considered a neutral equivalent for "negro". In 2002, the usage notes of neekeri shifted from "perceived as derogatory by some" to "generally derogatory" in the dictionary Kielitoimiston sanakirja, edited by the Institute for the Languages of Finland.[47]

Nationwide racism started to grow after the first Somali refugees arrived in Finland in the 1990s during the Somali Civil War. Finnish skinheads perpetrated attacks against Africans, and especially the city of Joensuu in eastern Finland grew to be an infamous center of racism. In the municipality of Nastola in southern Finland, the police had to protect the local refugee center from the violence of the locals, as they committed a shooting. Other incidents included a bomb that detonated in a refugee center in Valkeala, a municipality in southeast Finland, and an attack by skinheads against Somalis in Hakunila, Vantaa, in southern Finland.[5]

In the late 20th century and the 21st century, some ethnic Finnish women married to or cohabiting with younger black men have faced discrimination as they are sometimes stereotyped as sex tourists in Finnish society.[48][49][50][51][52]

According to the study "Being Black in the EU" by the Fundamental Rights Agency published in 2018, 63% of Afro-Finns in Finland had experienced racist harassment, which had appeared as offensive gestures, comments, threats or violence. This was the highest percentage of the twelve European Union member states[lower-alpha 10] that were included in the study, much higher than for example in Malta which was 20%. 14% stated they had experienced violence in Finland due to their skin colour, which also was the highest of the participating countries, much higher than in, for example, Portugal where 2% had experienced similar violence.[53][54]

A report published in 2020 by the Non-Discrimination Ombudsman found that four out of five people with an African background had experienced racial discrimination in Finland due to their skin colour.[55]

Notes
  1. I.e., according to Statistics Finland, people in Finland:
     • whose both parents are African-born,
     • or whose only known parent was born in Africa,
     • or who were born in Africa and whose parents' countries of birth are unknown.[1]
    Thus, for example, people with one Finnish parent and one African parent or people with more distant African ancestry are not included in this country-based non-ethnic figure.
    Also, African-born adoptees' backgrounds are determined by their adoptive parents, not by their biological parents.[1]
  2. The population of Finland was 5,525,292 on 31 December 2019.[2]
  3. I.e., all other African countries but Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia.
  4. These countries' numbers from 1990 are marked in the Statistics Finland source as "...", which means the number is between 0–9 and that the exact number is hidden confidential information due to the provisions on secrecy.[20] However, altogether, there were 64 people in Finland with a close background in these 29 countries on 31 December 1990.
  5. South Sudan was not independent in 1990; see the number of Sudan.
  6. These countries' numbers from 2019 are marked in the Statistics Finland source as "...", which means the number is between 0–9 and that the exact number is hidden confidential information due to the provisions on secrecy.[20] However, altogether, there were 30 people in Finland with a close background in these six countries on 31 December 2019.
  7. I.e., according to Statistics Finland, people in Finland:
     • whose both parents are born in those countries,
     • or whose only known parent was born in those countries,
     • or who were born in those countries and whose parents' countries of birth are unknown.[1]
    Thus, for example, people with one Finnish parent and one parent from those countries or people with more distant ancestry from those countries are not included in this country-based non-ethnic figure.
    Also, adoptees born in those countries have their backgrounds determined by their adoptive parents, not by their biological parents.[1]
  8. It is not specified in the source to what "Congo" (Kongo) refers to, but it could possibly refer to any of the following four countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, People's Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo or Zaire.
  9. Literally "People's Democratic Republic of the Congo" in the source, but such country has never existed. It could possibly refer to the People's Republic of the Congo.
  10. Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
  11. Ancestry; born in Finland.
  12. On their father's side; ethnic Finnish descent on the mother's side.
