They are fucking disgusting. There's too many of them in Norway.

@gomle3 could you please share with us the sources of those statistics? Would like to explore it a bit further - thanks in advance!

@Darkstorms15 Sámi particularly don't tend to follow reindeers, on the contrary they try their best to ignore them: they consider them as a bad omen from wicked shamans because all of a sudden the reindeers dissapear, and they find themselves lost. Instead they tend to follow their own orientational skills and head towards landmarks of potential abundance such as lakes or forests. True 21st century story, told to me by a sámi himself just over a month ago (:

If the Sami are the indigenous people, where do the rest of the people come from? And how can you tell them apart?

@cat5ify It is almost funny. My brother looks like he could be chinese, but I am big and pink enough to be king of Sweden. We look so different, but everybody says we look alike.

@cat5ify Okay, fucking! The damn vikings and Sami are fucking. Since both cultures like booze and skis, they have allot in common, and so they fuck eachother, and eventually the only difference will be whether they have an accent that makes them sound like their nose is full of snot, or they need a drink of water.

@cat5ify Sami people are 95% European and 5% Asian. Recent DNA analysis shows that 70% of their European DNA comes from the Iberian penninsula, 20% from Eastern Europe and the remaining 10% from interbreeding with ethnic Norwegians .Some have slight central Asian features like slanted eyes and high cheek bones but most Sami in Norway are indistinguishable from ethnic Norwegians in physical appearance (When wearing modern clothes). .
