Dutch is easy for anybody who's mastered English or German. Also, a link in any language is better than no links. (See: Tribesman)
Meanwhile I spend a fine fifteen minutes quickly reading through this article:
Moroccan pupils in the Netherlands get punished more by their teacher than white pupils:

Because the students are little pests? Yes, they are. But there are mechanisms at work why they should behave like that, why the teacher-pupil interaction should be the way it is. Dutch schools are far from culture neutral indeed.

Let me be very clear: Blatant racism is against forum rules.
If you wish to make a point against whole racial or national groups, at the very least back it up with research or statistics. Unsubstantiated generalisations are a sign of feeble thinking and unwelcome on this board when insulting entire groups.

It may be because I left a hash in there. It's now removed. Are things still pink?
