Cephalic index under 78 or 80 (depending on the definition), stature over 178cm or 180cm (depends on the definition), blond hair and light eyes.

My father's family moved here when he was three and my mother was born here, if I remember it correctly. So I'm a second generation immigrant according to the 74 percent (old) definition, but otherwise not.

That definition is abandoned. Like my swedish-italian friend said: I'm a second-generation swede, not a second-generation italian.

Btw, there are plenty of people living here born in Åland or in Swedish-speaking Finland. According to statistics they are immigrants but I remember PTG said that they instead just had moved within their own culture.

Adopted are counted as foreign-born also.

My kids will not be of that 74 % swedes but sure as hell they will be swedes. My fiancée is from Finland you know (ethnic finn).

My gf wants to speak finnish with our future kids, simply because its natural for her. I wouldn't mind that, she said in Finland bilingualism is appreciated (unlike here), right Leminkäinen?
