That's... a surprisingly crass thing to say. I would play it off as a joke, if not for the second part of your post. Dutch people are not "vicious assholes", they have a culture of direct communication. Assuming that only your culture communication patterns are "correct" is xenophobic and close-minded.
And connecting all people in the country with "tax evasion schemes" is rude, if that was not actually a joke.
- lifestyleguru 2y agoI'm just being brutally blunt. It goes both ways. The scale of this these evasion schemes is monstrous, not a joke at all.
- eru 2y agoI'm not sure what you mean by 'evasion'. It's not tax evasion, if it's legal. It's just tax optimisation.
- torginus 2y agoNah, the Dutch are just mostly using directness as an excuse to be assholes (like everyone who uses this excuse). Try being 'direct' to them once in life and just find out how they take it. It's the national equivalent of 'You can't handle me at my worst'
