  • only met one Dutch person irl who hasn't displayed at least a Kent level of casual racism

    Quite the opposite ime, was stunned at a friend of a friend passionately defending black Pete.

    Ymmv is right

  • True, but I grew up there and over the 14 years I lived in the Netherlands I reckon I experienced racism to my face on average once a week. There were also three significant events that I'd say were some kind of assault on me and my parents and the last one nearly ended up with my dad going to hospital. I hope things have improved since then but based on what I have seen in the news over the years and the political situation it doesn't look like it has.
