I would assume it’s because Finnish people migrated from deep inside Russia in the steppes thousands of years ago.
My Finnish wife gets asked if she is asian sometimes lol

When we go far enough back in history, many Finns belong in the larger group of Turanic/Turkic peoples, like Mongols, Turks, Koreans, Japanese, Azeris, Yakuts etc.
We may have settled here in the north long time ago, but the yearning to ride under the vast blue sky on open pastures still remains. Just like our nomadic ancestors did countless ages ago.
Asian descendants. Although some have European looks, and this is mainly to due the fact that when Finland was part of Sweden, finnish woman were whoring around with Swedish who are indo-european. Sort of like during Roman Empire, when Romans used to bring woman from Thracia or Gallia, they sold them as prositutes.

I have never thought that Finns look Asian. Kind of begging the question aren’t you?
Also, that map is shit.

After the Finno-Korean hyperwars the asiatic population was greatly diminished and the rest were assimilated to the Finnish khaganate

They did mix less with the southern and indo-european groups due to being far north and more isolated on the peninsula

I dunno, maybe the fact that Finnish ancestry has a lot of Mongolian in it, which after a really long time of nomadic lifestyle across the Eurasian continent eventually settled in an icy hellscape that for some reason or another felt about as good of a place to finish the journey around and do the horizontal mambo with the locals?
Your guess is as good as mine.

Well there’s a lot of Mongol in a Finn, I think. Uralic/Altaic people probably mixed a fair bit in ancient history and then the Mongols brought it all Westwards.

Finns are genetically a quite unique population and have some Siberian DNA as our language/culture came from there. The Finno-Ugric people who came here were maybe 50% Siberian DNA and modern Finns smt like 10%
Sami people have even more Siberian DNA and also more often show „Asian“ features.
Finns share most of their DNA with white westerners but have very different father lineages.

As a native Finnish person I’ve never seen a better visualization of the question that is being asked. Master of copy-paste

A wild guess, but genetics are somehow involved?
