      So are modern Scandinavians. Also I’m not so sure about gen alpha Norwegians. There are a large number of half Thai kids in rural areas. Norwegian women escape the villages to go live in Bergen/Oslo and the men who stayed home to take care of the family farm go over to Thailand to find someone. It’s a stereotype but it definitely happens pretty frequently.

      Also there’s a large foreign population generally (the oil industry and service industry attracts a lot of foreigners and Norway takes a fair number of refugees) æand they’re (relatively) well integrated (this doesn’t apply to Sweden). You actually see some Muslim women in Norwegian national dress with a headscarf that’s embroidered with the same pattern, which is cool.
