i suppose i should not be surprised with your living experience in amsterdam huh...
The Dutch aren't racist, they just feel that they are superior. They have this belief that their blunt attitudes and stubborn mindsets make them better. How else can you explain their strict adherence to nonsensical policies that benefit nobody but frustrates most? How else can you explain the fact that it has been six months since I've moved away from Holland and my bank account is still not closed? How else can you explain your run-in with the law?
No no, it has nothing to do with racism, we're all racists. We all have fears of what we see in mainstream media. Where certain people are associated daily with religions fanatacism. Where certain minority groups are associated with the abuse of the social system, where others are identified as trouble makers and causes of social unrest.
