THE DILEMMA OF RACISM IN THE NETHERLANDS In this country when you complain about racism, there is always somebody who comes to criticize you for being a racist yourself. The Dutch applaud seriously when especially another black person comes to criticize you for even pointing out that there is something wrong. And always there is a black person waiting for his 3 seconds of fame. You see here a racist is either a black man or an alien who drops in from the sky in the night and perform racist acts and then disappear. It is never a Dutch person. The poster of a man exorting people to vote PVV, a right wing party is illustrative of what we have to face as Africans here. It says stop the foreigners. They came here because they were hungry. More than half of them do not work. And now at the cost of the Dutch taxpayer, they want to earn huge salaries in politics. There are 137 candidates and all of them are foreigners. There is nothing in that statement that is true, absolutely nothing. But even to say that means you open yourself to insults.
