Then you would be called a racist, of course.

" Latifi kuitenkin painottaa, että seura on avoin kaikille, ei pelkästään maahanmuuttajille.
Just a mkt gimmick.

And what if we have activity clubs for young people, retired people, moms and babies, disabled people and war veterans or Swedish classes for Finnish speakers, Finnish classes for Swedish speakers and swimming classes for blind people, etc etc?

I think all those activities are fine Cory. No different to having "activity clubs for boxers". But if someone started these:

activity club for young people (Finns only, but foreigners welcome too)

activity club for retired people (Finns only, but foreigners welcome too)

activity club for mums and babies (Finns only,but foreigners welcome too)

etc, etc

What would happen then? Would the defence, "Oh it's only a marketing gimmic" stop anyone from shouting, "racists!" ??

Well, they could have a huge success among the local skinheads. "Come and beat the !"#¤% out of immigrants"

My first wry thought as well.

One ad in English and a very different ad in Finnish.

But that was after seeing only the title and who posted it.
