The Nordic countries aren't ethnically homogenous, not even when disregarding recent developments in migration. For example, there's a very large Swedish ethnic minority in Finland and vica versa. Swedish and Finnish people are ethnically very different, Swedish people being of Germanic origin while Finns having Uralic origins. There is an excellent relationship between them these days but this wasn't always the case.
