Not only one time i met bully in Holland in the bus. They don't distinguish you are tourists or fellows. If you look different or couldn't talk his language good, then they are mad at you, you are bullied! The bus driver putting on a complete abuser's face, with abusive words, even actions, just because I am a small woman, I am foreignor. The guy almost swinged me out of his bus!when i had to ask him to correct the mistake he made on my stamp ticket! I was falling on the floor since he secretly opened the switch from inside at his driver seat door! This is just a racist! a bullier! How can a civileze man do those to a woman!!! or any other!!!!!!!!!! Help! Racism is going on in holland, a so-called torlerant country!They hate muslims who live in their country, so they treat EVERY foreignor like an enemy. They are getting crazy. It seems they never go aboard to other countries?! But they do, they go to Thailand, Brazil ...etc. go there to fuck their women, spreading Aids and drugs!

Re: Racism going on in Holland
It is distressing, racism in Holland. The "allochthone" meets xenophobia. The attitudes towards Moroccans and Turks are not what they were 30 years ago. The Dutch will take a lot of time to tell you why, but it still doesn't sound right. In the meantime the war mongering and the "security" paranoia is indeed driving them crazy. They are losing their democratic liberties and their privacy fast. Feel sorry for them.

The Dutch are very racist

The Dutch are very racist (not all) but a significant portion of the population. If Dutch politics does not change -- when they travel to your country on vacaction show them what you think of their society. Return the favor if they don't change their ways, and boycott their goods.

My experience is that they

My experience is that they are for the most part "quiet racists" -- you are right ... I experienced the same when in Amsterdam, and in Rotterdam.

Racism going on in Holland

Dear Wylnr2001,

Most people that come to Holland have no notion what really is going on here...

Despite all the progressive sounds Holland has made in the '70 and 80's, it is still a (if not THE) stronghold of racism. Do not forget that the Dutch have thrived for more than 400 years on slavery and robbing and depleting their colonies. (Every place they colonized, there are racial troubles right now as we "speak").

Internally the population has never ever reached consensus on any issues and has allways been treated as a dumb "Kid" by the Elite. The populace have never revolutionized against this system and have accepted their faith and they don't even realize it! Yep, it is the perfect country for bullies indeed (Bullying is the favourite past-time in schools in Holland, a proven fact.)

History is the least popular subject, not only in school, because it is clouded with shame, and after WWII, the Nazi-collaborators (NSB-folk) were treated with satin gloves. Mentality-wise nothing has changed here, the Dutch are being unmasked right now as being scared of any real change. If you listen to them, they make it sound as if they are the most progressive thinkers, it is just a cover-up though, they hate change and generally try to ignore their conscience (this is considered to be "modern"). Their leaders have allways covered up mistakes and this is, slowly but surely, becoming fatal to them now.

I dare to predict that Holland will become the next fascist state (Covered up with lots of words and smokescreens) Because it ie the perfect breeding ground for these failing elements.

Kind Regards,

Racism going on in Holland

I think not only the colored people face the racism but whites also face it in one form or the other.Me being an English faced it once in my high school as i was pretty passionate about Rap Music.As blacks are mostly involved in it so some times i faced a racial attack.But it does not affected me as I am linked with my uncle's Anti-Racism Organisation so i know exactly how to avoid such things to happen.
