I bet they would have been really happy to become corporate lawyers, highly paid computer programmers or big-4 accountants, but I have a slight feeling those career opportunities were never quite open for them (except for a very lucky few). In other words, if you only provide a "life of crime" as a way of getting out of poverty you can be sure that there be will lots and lots of people choosing that. And who can blame them?
- mg794613 7y agoThe thing is, they have so many opportunities in the Netherlands. The true problem is the culture, and I'm not talking about maroccan culture, but "mocro". This is a culture that developed over 3/4 generations where the criminal path is the "cool" option. The right basically imported them to do jobs the dutch felt too good for. Then they were told by the left not to hit their kids, but weren't told how to raise them instead. All respect for the father (important in that culture) got lost and the kids ended on the streets, giving each other a feed back loop to "screw those stupid dutchies". The dutch also failed in regards of spreading them, which allowed for this culture to develop.
