Well, about 6 percent of Finns are Swedish speaking. In the 60's I had
 a Swedish speaking pal who also spoke Finnish almost like a native.
 When his teenage somewhat older sister heard him speak Finnish
 to me, she said very angrily: Anders (name changed), we are not Finns!
 (They call themselves Finländare: people who live in Finland but
 are not Finns?)
 

 That might explain a bit of my not being very fond of some Swedes...
