I provided this source, so rest assured I read it.

The source argues that 'Geert Wilders is one of us, say Indies immigrants'. That is, in fact, the very title. This recognition remains undisputed.
What is disputed, by Bussemakers, is Wilders popularity within the Indo community, many of whom fear for the climate of xenophobia Wilders creates, which might ultimately affect them too.
Wilders popularity, or lack thereof, within the Indo community is, though interesting, however entirely besides the point. Nobody makes any claim to that either way.

And just to top it off I'll give you a scientific source, from the NIOD (the Dutch Institute for War Documentation) on Indo identity and politics. Pay special attention to the penultimate paragraph. The part where this historian also explicitly sets apart pieds-noirs from Indo's is also very, very relevant.

Thank you for providing us with a link. Alas, this article is about the Indo community in the colonial Dutch Indies, and has such has only limited, indirect relevance to our subject, which deals with colonial communities after repatriation. As the article says: 'In fact, a conscious Indisch identity emerged first in the Netherlands and only from the late 1950s, following the mass expulsion of Dutch citizens from Indonesia in 1957'.
This conscious Indisch identity, as developed within the Netherlands, and the implications of it for Wilders, is at stake.

I think we are tiring both ourselves and any poor souls who take the effort to read all this, so perhaps we should just let it rest. Wilders motives, inner thoughtworld and path to radicalisation are not a mathematical science, and I do not think this little debate is illuminating for any further exploration of this interesting subject.
