Having lived in many European countries, Netherlands was by far the most openly racist of them all. Especially during coronavirus.

Just browse a Facebook apartment rental group in Netherlands. Most would say “No internationals!”.

Imagine a society where such blatant discrimination exists, and you will see why such scandals targeting foreigners is no surprise.

Yes, the Dutch are incredibly racist (I’m Dutch, btw) but the “no internationals” isn’t because of the color of their skin but because they don’t stay around for long. With “internationals” (meaning expats and foreign students) you have to go through the hassle of putting up your rental on the market much more often than with non-“internationals”. “No internationals” basically just means “long term rentals only”.

Edit: but, in typical Dutch fashion, this essentially innocent statement is worded as rudely as possible.
