Dear Editor,
By now I think you have realized that I am about calling a spade a spade. We know the popular saying : If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it is most likely a duck. So here I go again.
If only white Germans, white Swedes, white Russians, white Frenchmen, white Poles, white Norwegians, white Spaniards, white Italians and only white people from other countries in the world lived in the Netherlands, would Stef Blok consider that a multicultural society? Would Stef Blok stick around to see if they would be able to (co)exist peacefully? Or would Stef Blok then go live on the moon? I could not say in space because even the satellites are also multicultural.
If you noticed, I did not mention white Americans, that is because I am not convinced if there are indigenous white Americans.
I honestly cannot find the correct word for someone who strongly believes that people of different cultures cannot live peacefully together, so would someone please enlighten me. The Amish came to mind, but they are Swiss-German.
So after wracking my brains and consulting legislation the only thing I could come up with is, if where it is expressed and because of why it is expressed it sounds racist, it most likely might be racist.
In my childhood days there used to be a childhood story about “Het mars mannetje”. Is this a reality in the making? Bon dia, Suzy.
