Up until about 120 years ago, or was it in on independence?, Finland was regarded as a subset of Russia. Because of its northern latitude Finland was put in a northern country group - Nordic. .
By whom?
Yes, when Finland was a part of Russia, it was considered Russia, naturally. During our independence we have been Nordic, and before a part of Russia we were considered and legally - Sweden.

Blondism has nothing to do with latitude. UK and many others countries are evidence of it. The UK is an Island, it s warmer than everywhere in germany. Even Paris and Eastern France are colder than Southern Uk.
And YeS, UK is less nordic than Germany and even Southern Germany. You have apparently never been to those countries.
I can stay 2 weeks in UK and blond people could be counting on the fingers of one hand.
If you have normal eyes and check your anglosax made map, you will notice that the color is not the same (if you compare with the same latitude).
Do not forget numbers
Germany light hair=41%
UK less than 20%
England = 28%
And it is not blond it s light hair
Regarding British studies.
I find it quite ironic that some people (brits)see UK to be as "nordic" as germany when History, facts, stats, studies tell the contrary.
Especially regarding hair color.
"Yes , we british are as light hair as Germans, nah nah" who is the most germaniic? It is me,it is me!" Like if being germanic or blond was better...
It is ridiculous.
Agreed!! And like you I actually LIVE in the UK and can see how people 'look' with my own eyes 'EVERY single day, the fact is there are FAR more dark haired people where I live than blond, does this mean 'blondes are less British NO, does this mean Britons are 'Mediterranean NO, it simply shows that dark haired and blond Europeans are EXACTLY the same ethnicity!! Why are people trying to claim that a Caucasian German is 'diiferent' say to a Caucasian Frenchman!! They are not!! Incidently there are millions of Europeans that aren't Caucasian too!!

You live in the SE of England where there is more French influence and heavy immigration over the past 60 years. Go to an untouched north Yorkshire rural town/village.

How can you agree if you don't even know how German people look like? Who told you that blonde Brits are not of the same ethnicity as dark/brown-haired Brits, nobody denies that they're related? In both Britain and Germany, brown-haired people are more numerous than blonde, that is a fact established. You always miss the point, this thread's questions concerns the white Britons and white Germans. It wouldn't obviously apply to those who aren't white of course. Oh you have a long way to go, but you'll do just fine when you get there.

Uhm, what? Yes, Finland was during 1809-1917 in a personal union with Russia as an autonomous Grand Duchy. So? Normandy and Aquitaine were a part of England, but does it make them English/British? No.
Before 1809 Finland was a part of Sweden, as Swedish as any other integral part of Sweden, and therefore Scandinavia.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to claim here.
Scandinavia on an old map. Don't say the year, but approx 1740's:
