This is a bit off topic, yet still relavent. I live in North Carolina and have experienced quite a bit of prejudice. A few close friends are Dutch and they are extremely racist even in my book. Granted we don't have the influx of muslims in my community as I see in Amsterdam, but we certinally have a large latino community and the city I live in is over 50% African American (I'm obviously white) but I find the intolerence of "brown people" in the NL amazingly out there < ie. burning community centers etc.
Certinally the dynamics of the situations are different, but the image of a liberal, tolerant Dutch culture is a facade when it comes to "brown people"
