African immigration to 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

Finns reacted to the first Africans in Finland with curiosity and amazement.[10] During the 19th century, there were some Africans from the Americas in the Grand Duchy of Finland, working as servants for wealthy Russians.[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]

During the 1900s–1970s, the few Africans in Finland were mostly either students (mostly from Nigeria and Ethiopia), political exiles from South Africa or people that 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 the late 20th century, during the Somali Civil War, the first Somali refugees arrived in Finland.[13]

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.[14]

Adoptions

From 1987 to 2018, a total of 885 people were adopted from Africa to Finland.[22]

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.[23][24] On the same date, there were 4,553 Finland-born people who were either married to or registered as cohabiting with people born in Africa; of the Finland-born people 3,584 (78.7%) were women while 969 (21.3%) were men.[25][26]

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.[27]

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 shootings, group assault and played racist music.[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.[28][29][30][31][32]

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 4] 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.[33][34]

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.[35]

Afro-Finnish identity, culture and media

According to an estimate in 2009 by Yle, there are 20,000 Afro-Finns in Finland. They compose a much larger minority than many other large minorities in Finland such as the Sami or Romani, and if considered a one group, Afro-Finns are Finland's second largest ethnic minority group, only behind Swedish-speaking Finns. The identity of Afro-Finns varies; some consider themselves Finns, while others have their own separate identity.[9]

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]

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.[39][40][41] 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]

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.
  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. Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
  5. Ancestry; born in Finland.
  6. On their father's side; ethnic Finnish descent on the mother's side.
  7. On their mother's side; ethnic Finnish descent on the father's side.
