yosh added,
Mind giving a quick translation/context? Online translation tools aren't giving me anything that makes sense 
A fun mix of "oh look at these people from our former colonies", and "they're worhshipping bull's jizz". The latter doesn't translate well, but it's basically making fun of the way language sounds + "they're savages". Also tossed in jabs at black celebrities. All in 3 sentences.
That's the insults made by celebrated comedians on national TV. The article itself calls it the fuck out. Good on them; shit like this is unacceptable.
The thing that gets me the most is that in high school, this particular comedian was revered by my Dutch language teacher. Thought it was the funniest thing ever. This kinda stuff is played in schools, and broadcast publicly. It's messed up.
Ugh okay yea that's fucked. Do you think that's a good representation of most people in the country though? Or are things ~*getting better*~ with young people being more aware of shit like that?
I'd say it's 50/50 — the (christo) conservative parties have been courting the fascist party, and been governing for a while now. Scapegoating has been a thing since forever. Also the fascist party ran with "Make the Netherlands Great Again" last election. It's not good.
Health care premiums are on the rise; education is becoming more and more expensive. Govt bailed out several banks in the past few years, without imposing any regulation to prevent it from happening again. Muslim phobia is real, and fuck me people are DENSE.
