It can almost be no other can it? I think it is interesting that people likely had an image of what the person may look like from just the title and the text would likely have supported there position most likely.

Only the Western mind seems to be concerned about fairness and universal justice. That the West has individuals who feel marginalized by a system that overly caters to the sensibility of a foreigner is a credit to an inherently just system of governance. I empathize with the person in the story and agree with much of his grievances. Those who choose to relocate to another culture need to adapt to the majority cultural sensitivity, not demand subversion. The grievances outlined need to be addressed fairly and not be dismissed as "racist" ramblings.
That there is a social class of people who are economically disadvantaged and culturally marginalized remains critical problem that requires resolution. After all, we live in civilized Helsinki, not some backwards hole in Ugistan or something.
Or somewhere like Helsinki.
Yes, this is true. When I wrote it I wanted to try to mix some legitimate claims with some ramblings as in my experience, there is generally enough legitimate to listen. The issue I have come across is that often the legitimate is overshadowed by the ramble as they do not realise what they hold.
There are many facets to the gem that I find interesting and several that I do not at all. But, it does not mean that someone may not feel the same. I would personally still try to err on judging the individual as I am one of the people that has been consistently judged as a group in the negative but am generally the 'kind of foreigner' that people talk about wanting in a country. Skilled earner that adds value and tax revenue without having taken nor needing any integration support. Walking down the street this is not what people see though.
It does have its advantages also.
