Summary
The Netherlands has become a different country. A country where black-haired Dutch people see color and origin everywhere, while their blond compatriots see it nowhere. A country where the new cheese heads agree on one thing without exception: racism exists in the Netherlands. The only question is how you deal with it. What is it like to be born in a country where you know that most inhabitants do not see you as a real Dutch person? 00Robert Vuijsje (author of 'Only neat people') wrote down the stories of sixty famous Dutch people with a colored background. For example, there is the story of the Surinamese NOS Journaal presenter who still does not see any color on television. And the experience of the Antillean actress who was only offered ten thousand euros by Playboy because 'black doesn't sell'. And how do people react to Surinamese Sunnery James when he walks down the street with his Frisian wife Doutzen Kroes? Robert Vuijsje paints a picture of our country as we have never seen it before.
