Not a nice one but one that is causing tension that will have to be dealt with. Dare I say that it is of an sore ethnic issue.
The Dutch themselves deal with it by ignoring it, not dealing with it, talking (openly that is), pretending it is not there. But is it is like a fucking great boil waiting to explode and when it does....
It ia uncomfortable at times. There are certain areas that you sense you shouldn't be in, or the looks, how your tolerated and spoken too. There is an unsettling undercurrent of them tolerating you in a country that is not theirs and how do you deal with that?
It is such a tender subject few dutch can be drawn into discussing it as the laws forbid you to slander 'it' so the best way is to pretend it is not there and bend, even at the cost of their own comfort....
I had an experience of it twice now and do not wish to go into detail, but suffice to say my view of the 'I' people is threatening, chauvinistic, dangerous and confrontational. We have a huge problem if this is how they view the world........how do we deal with it to maintain a freedom we have long fought to keep...
I'm not racist but I'm scared of the implications and behavior of powers that backdown and comply just to keep the peace....I wish they would just adopt to the country they are in, instead of making the country adopt to them......

Our leaders in their cowardice will see the Nazi's rise again.

All the lessons have already been learnt and then forgotten.
Political Correctness has circumscribed public debate and policy to the point where many are just too scared to speak out.
Dark days lay ahead.
