'Most people are very friendly', believes an immigrant from Oulu

The article reports on interviews with four immigrants living in Oulu, Finland, discussing their experiences with rising incidents of violence against people of foreign origin in the city. One individual has been repeatedly assaulted on bicycle over the past year, and there are concerns about potential racial profiling. While most residents are described as friendly, some immigrants feel they are viewed suspiciously due to their status. The interviewed individuals call for authorities to take the situation more seriously, noting that such incidents could affect Finland’s reputation as a safe country. Oulu has implemented anti-racism initiatives since the recent incident involving a white person, but some immigrants argue these efforts lack concrete action.
