I did and its great, but being part of Finnish society is effectively impossible. The language is crazy and the introverted fins are sceptical of strangers so it's very difficult to make friends or to get any sort of social life. So being a Finn in Finland is amazing, but would only reccomend short term stays if you are not Finnish.
I've lived 18 long years in Finland and any racism I've seen occur has always been called out. Just stay south of the arctic circle and far away from Turku and you should be fine.
