My Finnish side comes mainly from Ilmajoki, good luck trying to flip that into a 'commie hotspot'.  I also have some Kven ancestry.
But I have to say that it doesn't surprise me one bit to find out that you're not actually Finnish. It's often people like the Finnish-Swedish who make the biggest asses of themselves with blatant racism etc. and consider themselves to be above average Finns, let alone Sami etc.

You should go more often to Ilmajoki and engage in debates there.
Half of my family comes from Southern Ostrobothnia, Kauhajoki and also Ilmajoki, mixed Finnish and Swedish. Other half is mixed Karelian and German from occupied Karelia. My mother tongue is Finnish. I consider myself a very typical Finn, i just know my family history, most are not interested.
