Finnish media has revealed private conversations in which the country’s economy minister said Somalis spread like weeds and that women who wear headscarves should be banned, among other racist remarks.
Wille Rydman, 37, shared lyrics to a song which talked about a Muslim who leaves his home country and rapes a woman. He suggested to his ex-girlfriend that the song could be ideally sung at student parties.
In one message Rydman mused about where his own dark brown eyes might have been inherited from. “Even if I bred with a pitch black Nigerian negro, the child would still have a 26% chance of having green eyes,” Rydman said
Rydman is currently a member of the far-right Perussuomalaiset (Finns Party), the second-largest faction in the four-party alliance government.
His use of racist language in private conversations has now mired Finland’s right-wing coalition government in yet another racism-related controversy.
