It’s been a while since the last time and I wasn’t really planning to post again any time soon but scrolling through the org I noticed something pretty disturbing to me.

Clearly, Bijo needed to vent out his frustrations regarding his home country and the growing intolerance towards foreigners in it.
With his heart on his tongue he wrote about a phenomenon that in my view surely is a rising problem and deserves at the very least some of our attention.

2 things I believe he was wrong in where: attacking the US and assuming it’s an isolated issue that occurs only in the Netherlands when it is ofcours more of a universal problem.
Racism and intolerance towards our fellow man is rising in not only in Netherlands but Europe, America, Asia,… as well.
Though I must say that as his neighbour I’ve seen his tolerant and open-minded society in a few years time chance dramatically, focusing and pointing fingers in wrong directions.

Nonetheless it takes guts and a open minded view to write not only on a sure enough real issue but also criticising your own native country.

The reply’s he received where nothing less then shocking to me.
They where an immediate attack towards him and very much beside the point.
If this is what you get for speaking your mind then there is something very wrong going on inhere.

Ironic, he wrote about his disgust towards intolerance and that’s exactly what he got.
