also in terms of job market, there is wide know research that when your name doesnt sound finnish, right away you can be stacked at the bottom of the list. so there is real evidence there i believe.
Not speaking Finnish definitely puts you out of contention for most jobs, for most jobs you cannot even be considered by the company because the language is needed for the work.

That's 100% your fault.

Any bias based on names is comparably tiny, don't whine about racism when you are voluntarily removing yourself from consideration for most jobs by not being able to work in the language of your country.

Also for your kids, if they want to work or study in Finland then good Finnish skills will be far more important than whatever tiny bias they might experience in their lives.
