Hi, I live in the Netherlands. It used to be known as one of THE most tolerant countries of western Europe. But that ain\'t much
anymore since the government elections from a month and a half ago. At least, to the perception of other countries. So now we got this new right winged party here in our government who\'s "leader" Pim Fortuyn, got shot by an environmental activist.
Fortuyn became very popular. He wanted to stop immigrants and referred to Islamic ppl as a retarded culture. Anyway, native Dutch ppl (white) have shown their true faces now. After he got shot they voted massively for his party and now it\'s one of the three parties in the government. I live in the south of Holland and it\'s pretty mixed. Alot of Turkish ppl and ppl from Marocco live here. There\'s no serious tensions going on here, but I do notice some white ppl hating them. But the biggest mixed populations are in the west of the Netherlands. I myself, I\'m Asian in the Netherlands, adopted by Dutch native ppl when I was about 3 months old. So somehow I rarely met any serious racism towards myself. But I do think Dutch ppl shouldn\'t point fingers anymore at countries like Austria becuz of the right extremist Jorg Haider ; they loved Fortuyn themselves just as much.
