Written by a Turkish man from Rotterdam.

In this little Dutch...
Like in the rest of the world, besides people with a different color, also small people, very big people, fat people, crooked people, stuttering people, limping people, already older people, shy people, ADHD and ADD people, other sexual orientation people, less smart people, just whole smart people or just because you are the way you are, often looked differently...
And yet everyone in this country is trying to make the most of it.

In this little frogland...
Is Aboutaleb mayor of Rotterdam and Marcouch van Arnhem...
There are more than 180 nationalities in Amsterdam...
Humberto Tan once won the Television Ring and the Perfect Picture...
Is Spong a famous lawyer...
And make Braboneger, Theo Maassen or Najib laugh all over the Netherlands.

In this tiny little country...
Is Khadija Arib chairman of the House of Representatives...
Ali B the most popular face of The Voice of Holland...
Are Depay, Dumfries and Wijnaldum top players in Orange...
Was Gullit the captain of the most successful Orange ever...
And Sanders's coddling bear with the Lionesses...
Martina a sprintende bigsmile import-antillan...
And Ozcan Akyol, a top columnist in the AD.

In this Dutch...
Are police officers on the street white, brown, yellow or black...
Do teachers have hip beards, bald heads or wear headscarves...
Is the butcher and greengrocer Dutch, Turkish. Antillean, or Moroccan...
Is the French fries owner called Corry, Hassan or ChengX...
Hot staff at the pub or restaurant Willem or Nasrin...
Are we in the gym coached by Admir or Ronnie...
Walls are smoothed out by Wladimir or Jeroen...
We eat couscous at Mo, shawarma at Ali and smoked sausage at the HEMA...
We learn how to ride Ethiopiers from the AZC and they show us at the Zevenhilenloop again how to really run fast...
Will Brazilian carnival or the Sugar Festival be celebrated with the neighbors and there is room for the gay pride...

In this beautiful Dutch...
Can everyone achieve what they want, people become leaders and pros or whatever to their abilities...
Is clapped and cheered for people regardless of the amount of pigment...
we eat what we feel like regardless of the color of the pinch that hangs over the pans.

I think we have a lot of fun with each other in the Netherlands...
So let's keep it that way...

I thought I'd report it ff..

And that's not racism but realism 😔🤷♀ #racisme

The other side of the racism story in NL is beautiful!
