Finns and Sámis aren't the same group of people. Sámi's are an ethnic group that live in the Sámpi region in Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia and been in Finland for much MUCH longer than Finns.
The thing with Finland is that it has a lot of Russian mixes in it as well as Swedish there's more or less of the other depending on what part of Finland we're speaking of.
This "white" issue is difficult to talk about in Europe because of all the different ethnic groups there are there. But to answer your question, yes I guess they could be considered white to most people.

Anyone with light skin is white, Caucasian is a race. White is a color.
Example: there are many white Mexicans, white Cubans, white Venezuelans, and so on, because they have light skin, some even have blonde hair and colored eyes, even when they are not Caucasian, they are white.
So if there is a person from Finland with dark skin, then that person is not white, but is Caucasian. Most people from Europe tend to have light skin, because the sun is not around as much as it in the south.
Depends. Some Suomi are of Swedish blood, surely "white", but Laplanders clearly carry different blood and have bred along the arctic circle to Siberia and Mongolia. media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...164b0ae68266.jpg
