    I know I have stopped aswering the phone in public if the caller doesn’t speak Dutch.

      It’s that bad? I know little about the political climate in the Netherlands apart from what I’ve read in the last week, but that’s depressing to read mate

        It’s not a recent thing. Being obviously foreign was not an issue until the mid 00s, but gradually things shifted. I tend to try and blend in when I can. Major light skin privilege.

        It’s not something I discuss with my Dutch friends. They don’t understand.

      I don’t understand, sorry. How do you know what language a caller speaks before you answer, and why does it matter?

        I’m from the future. We have phones with screens that show who’s calling.

    I’ve seen a few reels joking about Arabic looking teenagers taking their luggage or eating gouda to show how Dutch they are.

    Let’s hope it stays at the joke level.

    At school, some chapters in certain subjects are skipped for fear of violent confrontations, the board said.

    Yes, I’m sure there are gangs of Jews in the schools just waiting for an opportunity to attack. We all know its the other way around, yet the reports pretend the risks are equal.
