Yeah, but the suggestion was that Scandinavia = a place with zero non-white people. Which is not true. And yes, I'm Nordic as well and have had almost the same experience as you -- a bit over ten years ago, I could have counted the number of PoC I knew with one hand. However, that is not the way it is anymore, especially not in the urban areas, and I don't really have a great desire to encourage the idea of Scandinavia/the Nordic countries as some sort of ultimate Aryan daydream with literally zero non-white people. Because it's not. Plus if Greenland counts as "a part of" Denmark, that's one very much not-homogeneously-white place. And whether Saami people are or were historically automatically white is a very tricky subject, but they certainly were not accepted as such by their colonizers.
