JFC:

One 2008 “riikka” comment talked of “[N-words] selling pirated Vuittons” in Barcelona, which Purra, then a researcher at the University of Turku, was visiting at the time for an academic conference.

Another described “the sound darker males make when they pass you by” as “not whistling (that would be too obvious) but a fucking hiss between the teeth”, adding: “The more eager Abdullah is, the more saliva comes with it.”

In another post, the commenter wrote: “Anyone feel like spitting on beggars and beating [N-word] children today in Helsinki?”A post in January 2008 read: “I’m so full of hate and pure rage … What are you doing to my psyche, Islam?”

In September 2008, “riikka” wrote about a confrontation on a suburban train with a group of young immigrants: “If they gave me a gun, there’d be bodies on a commuter train, you’ll see.”

This isn't just everyday anti-immigrant racism - this woman is a psychopath and shouldn't be anywhere near a government post.
