While it doesn’t have to surprise /you/, the victims are used to racism so they aren’t surprised either.
However, it definitely upsets them because they’re discriminated against and negatively affected, while you are not.

- usrn 4y agoSo was that justified then? I thought we decided that was wrong and stopped.
- yunohn 4y agoThe point being made is that “slavery has stopped” is a meaningless view - when there is still active racial discrimination and modern colonialism.
- usrn 4y ago>modern colonialism What? No one's going into other countries anymore (except the US but this is largely against the will of the people and even this has stopped for now) and colonizing them. The closest would be the mass immigration into developed countries which this prevents. This also robs developing countries of their best workers and keeps them poor.
- yunohn 4y agoPlease educate yourself, you could just Google it. Your bio proudly says you’ve been banned for politics 3 times - I will stop engaging with your obvious racist trolling now. Modern colonialism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocolonialism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocolonialism
- yunohn 4y agoWhat are you talking about? The Dutch were colonisers who owned and imported slaves from various darker-skinned countries. Their descendants continue to live in the Netherlands now and face constant discrimination and peril, like this tax dept scandal. Further, like all “developed” countries, the Netherlands relies on a constant stream of “illegal” immigrants from developing/colonial countries, to support the country’s labor requirements. Given all this, your argument literally makes no sense.

- usrn 4y agoYes but those definitely are not White people. EDIT: If you listen to them they'll agree, most are even vocally anti-White. Israel itself doesn't allow White people to immigrate because they don't want their demographics diluted.
- mikojan 4y agoPardon my humor I didn't realize you were an actual Neo-Nazi
- Scarblac 4y agoMany of these people who are discriminated against _are Dutch_, both in nationality and because they were born there. It is their corner of the world.
- dundarious 4y agoEven on this ridiculous basis, the tax authorities weren’t even so thorough as to assess if they were discriminating against migrants. Merely looking non-western was sufficient. Having the “wrong” nose or hair or skin color or name, or whatever superficial bases they used, doesn’t make you a migrant. Especially given Dutch history with its colonies, there are a lot of such people who have been living in NL for generations. > people with a "non-Western appearance" were subjected to stricter controls
