The most racist country in Europe: Episode #6578765. Hate spoils the Yuletide Lucia fest

[Pelle Svanslös]

Daniela Owusu, who was chosen as this year's Lucia, has received huge
numbers of hate messages, shocking the organizer of the traditional
festival, Folkhälsan.

The tradition of Lucia, the bearer of light, is a Catholic tradition
dating back to the martyr Santa Lucia of Syracuse. Up North, the
tradition has a Swedish twist to it. It was whipped into the tsuhnas
during the Swedish rule over Finland.

There have been an exceptionally large number of messages on
Folkhälsan's website and social media channels compared to previous years.

"I am very sad that the celebration of light and humanity is being
overshadowed", HR and Development Manager Stina Heikkilä from Folkhälsan
tells HS on Sunday.

Heikkilä is responsible at Folkhälsan for the events of the Lucia
festival throughout Christmas and January.

For Finnish speakers, Daniela Owusu has been the target of such a huge
racist attack, according to Heikkilä, that Folkhälsan has decided to
protect her from excessive publicity for the time being.

Have there been dozens or hundreds of racist messages?

“We could talk about thousands”.

What is their content?

“They are aimed at Daniela. She has the wrong skin color. N-words,
W-words are repeated. They remind us where Daniela is from. You are
making us Muslims, they say”, Heikkilä says.

According to Heikkilä, racist messages came as soon as Owusu was crowned
in Helsinki Cathedral last Friday. It was reportedly quieter for a
while, but when Owusu gained visibility in the media due to her
position, she became a target again.

“This weekend, publicity has again awakened racists and neo-Nazis”.

Folkhälsan is Finland's largest Swedish-speaking organization that works
for health and quality of life. The Lucia maiden travels as a bearer of
hope in nursing homes and hospitals, where comfort is needed most.

A charity is organized in conjunction with the Lucia celebration. The
proceeds are directed to the needy.

Owusu, 20, was elected to be the Lucia maiden in a public vote. "More
positive messages, visibility, and praise have come from both Finnish
and Swedish speakers than in previous years," says Heikkilä.

Everything related to that Lucia shit is always
something to hate and despise. So stupid!

I do not care what colour the Lucias are, they
are idiots, plain and simple. Fuck off, all
Christians! Hahah!

Tsuhnas? If you hate Finland & Finns so much then get the fuck out of
here. You're not making very compelling argument for immigration while
being an immigrant and racist against the local population.

Using "N-word" aka "Neekeri" in Finnish language is NOT a racist term,
it translates as "negro"

This is actually a fair argument. She was probably chosen because she is
black. Another form of woke.

Lucia Maiden has always been white, and just about always with blond
hair. That's the image which comes to mind when you think about Lucia
maiden.

Oh, neo-nazis too. Were they wearing swastikas at the forum...

I doubt very much this person's analysis on the messages. I have zero
doubt that "negro" word was used a lot. The rest, sounds like BS.

My own comment when seeing it on TV...

"Bloody hell....
Well, at least she's a woman."

Anyway she's pretty, and rather fair skinned actually. But it seems
deliberately shoving woke down one's throat - and demeaning cultural
traditions. Again.

Nothing wrong with that.

Lucia Maiden has always been white,

Says who. Lucia has had a hairy chest too. In 19th century Sweden, male
students celebrated the fest by dressing up as Lucia.

My cat has a more accurate perspective on what "always" was.

The latest says that the true keepers of the tradition don't want you
defending it. The reaction to the racist messages of your pals is a boon
to donations for the charities Lucia fest raises money for. Ms Owusu as
Lucia is embraced!

Lucia shit suits total idiots perfectly so that
is why you too love the stupid Lucia show. Wise
people do not give a flying fuck about Lucia. Hahah!

Would this be like casting Hugh Grant as Jim from Huckleberry
