Is it reasonable to NOT date/marry white men b/c they have high divorce and alcoholism rate?
White males have some of the highest rates of divorce, alcoholism, and out of wedlock children(Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland, France, etc) lead in Europe with this. IS it bigoted to not get romantically involved with white men b/c of this? If many of them are great, why are 50% or more of them divorced from their first or even second wives to begin with? Surely, it can’t be the woman’s fault all the time, can it?
Considering that marriage doesn’t hold the same importance in Scandinavia as it does in many other countries, then the amount of children born out of wedlock is not an indication of how many children do not live together with both their parents in a normal family setting, since the parents might simply not be married.
Of course you can chose not to date/marry “white” men because you believe they have a high divorce and alcoholism rate (btw. this type of generalizing would be considered racistic here), it’s all up to you. Personally, I would focus much more on someones personality and character than I would his skin-colour or nationality. If I were to pick a husband based on nationality stereotyping, I would never have married the man I am now married to, and we have been happily married for almost a decade and have known each other for even longer.
For the record, we married so that I would get a stay permit since we were not living in the same country when we met. Had the permit not been an issue, we probably would not have married. A piece of paper and rings on our finger hasn’t changed the way we feel about each other or our commitment to each other.
An interesting fact; Scandinavians do not use colours to describe each other. I’ve never heard anyone here call themselves white or someone else black, brown, yellow or purple for that matter, and I would never use a colour to describe myself of any of my friends. Here’s it’s “The girl from Kenya”, “My friend with the three little boys”, “The guy who drives the white Fiat” etc.

Oulu is a city and municipality of about 130,000 inhabitants in the province of Oulu and the region of Northern Ostrobothnia, in Finland. It is the largest and most important city in Northern Finland. It is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, at the mouth of the Oulujoki River. A major fire destroyed much of the city in 1822.
It has a long history as the trade centre of Northern Finland and is known for tar and salmon.
The city is located quite North, just 200 km from Artic Circle, so it is a miracle that there is a beach like Nallikari. The currency unit in Finland is euro.

Even in the winter the people bike to bars, despite of the weather. Even in the darkest winter you will see bike lines, hundreds of bikes, outside night clubs in downtown and the bars. The bravest ones are from university campus. The city has a variety of bars and clubs for different tastes and ages. Most clubs close at four in the morning. Alcohol is very expensive in Finland due to the high taxes.

Rotuaari is part of Kirkkokatu, designated only for pedestrians. Oulun Kauppahalli on the market square is a traditional Finnish collection of small shops selling special foods, souvenirs and other interesting items.

The Neo-Classic Cathedral was built in 1777 and it was named after King Gustavus IIIs spouse Sofia Magdalena. The big fire of 1882 destroyed several parts of the former wooden Cathedral. It was rebuilt to its former shape but instead of wood stone was used. The Oulu Cathedral is an Evangelical Lutheran cathedral and the seat of the Diocese of Oulu, and is located in the centre of Oulu, Finland.
