Finnish finance minister apologizes for racist comments amid ongoing tensions

Finnish finance minister Riikka Purra apologized for racist and violent comments made online in 2008.
The comments included racial slurs and derogatory remarks about immigrants and minorities.
This is the fourth such incident involving a member of Purra's far-right Finns Party.
The remarks highlight ongoing racial tensions in Finland's new center-right government.
Purra expressed regret but defended her party's immigration policies amid calls to resign.
