The Finns where quite warlike, the "Lapps" (Sami people) not so much, being a fairly peaceful people in part due to being behind in weapons technology compared to neighboring peoples. Also, never call a Sami person "Lapp" it's highly offensive.

@thoorwulfn9z383 It is. Not all Sami people feel that it is, but the term was never their own word used for themselves and it was used during a rather... dark... time of Norwegian history and our relationship with the Sami people... There's black people who are not offended when someone uses the N word too, that doesn't make it a non-offensive word.

@thoorwulfn9z383 Both of those words are offensive. Sure, there are individuals who are not offended by it, but using that word when you know that there are people who have had bad experiences with it and might get hurt by it is a dissregard for other peoples feelings and is disrespectflull towards them and their history. Exactly the kind of things that causes this kind of words to become loaded to start with.
