I lived in Limburg for a few years near Sittard. My daughter was even born there. I noticed her Dutch birth certificate doesn’t include race like US birth certificates. Kinda tells me race and Whiteness is a US construct.
- yardie 5y agoRacism doesn't need the validity of a birth certificate to exist. My birth certificate doesn't list if I'm gay, straight, or bi. Doesn't mean the LGBTQ community isn't discriminated, attacked, and sometimes killed for simply existing. The Dutch knowing nothing of racism is super fucking rich. Read your own history books.
- fearturtle 5y agoDidn’t say the Dutch weren’t racist. Never understood the Zwarte Piet nonsense. Putting race on US Birth Certificates was a systemic racism before Jim Crow and still exists.
