Good thing Linus is Swedish. If you knew history and read the wiki, you would know about swedish rule of Finland and that a numerable swedish minority stayed in Finland over the centuries.
Since his father is in the “Swedish Peoples Party”, I will assume Finns casually use Swedish as a denomination for people who live in Finland but speak Swedish. I think he also talked about speaking Swedish at his home with his family.
Wow, lemmy goes to new lows every day. I cant understand why I have to feed this to you…
Well then he’s neither: he’s American. He lives in Dunthorpe, Oregon and has been naturalised American. That’s all beyond the point: what people mean isn’t his official citizenship, but his ethnicity, his cultural background. And in that regard, he’s Swedish.
I’ve met him. He says he’s Finnish. He was born in Finland and attended school in Finland. He graduated from the University of Helsinki. He has since moved to the United States of America. So he’s a little bit American now.

Well they have their famous king, Kalle Kaviar or something
the knig <3
He says he’s a Finn. He was born in Finland. He lived in Finland until he emigrated to the USA.
Then you say he’s actually Swedish because he knows the language, his dad was from Sweden, and “Marie Curie”. Bizarre.

I was confused. Sorry. Glad we agree.
