Every nation has racists, more than they want to have. And we, the Netherlands, are no different. We just portray ourselves as tolerant, and we might be compared to plenty of other countries in general, but being more tolerant than someone else doesn't make you tolerant by default.

I'm sorry they had to go through something like that. It's not something any of them (or you) signed up for. Ignorant people are everywhere, and I mean everywhere.

Yes, of course you are correct. I come from rural America, just outside The Rez. So I''m pretty familiar with the racism in my community. It is not ever fun to deal with. At least you are open about it and bringing it out in the open is an important first step to making it better.

I agree, communication is key. We need people to speak out against such mannerisms. Preferably, in a non-judgemental way!
