It's not racism... Friendly countries have always been picking on each others. Like Finnish are picking on Swedish, Norwegians are picking on Swedish or Danish are picking on Swedish.

I always explain it's like Americans when someone from New York makes a joke about someone from Kentucky, or California. Except we do it with neighbouring countries. And we don't need a laugh track. And we don't have to wait for the adverts to finish

Wouldn't that be racism against Kentuckians and Californians? /s
