Finnish ancestry

Is it true that people with Finnish ancestry are slightly Asian? I was watching a Miriam Bryant interview and she said she grew up in Finland, so maybe that explains why her face is kind of oval shaped.

I have Finnish ancestry and I don't look the slightest bit Asian.

A friend of mine also has Finnish ancestry and he doesn't look the slightest bit Asian either.

The Finns belong to the Fino-Ugric group of peoples along with Hungarians and possibly the Basques of northern Spain. No one is sure exactly where they originated, but DNA studies posit they migrated from the Caucuses about 10,000 years ago.

I grew up in a Finnish neighborhood in Michigan and all of the Fins were serious wiggers.

I grew up in a white neighborhood in Illinois and I didn't know what a wigger was till I moved to Virginia.

I also noticed that the whites in Virginia tend to be shorter, darker, and fatter.

I've noticed that the Finn alphabet resembles the Korean.

Many Finns are from the Saami people...the reindeer herders and nomadic people of Scandinavia. They are thought to have migrated from northern Asia 10,000+ years ago to Scandinavia. I am at least 1/2 Saami. My grandfather had vaguely Asian features as a child but I do not. I do have a very full head of hair though as I enter my senior years, and I thank the Saami for that.
