Maastricht - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?

Tremendous. We are an interracial family who have experienced nothing but positive treatment in the UK.In the Netherlands, we were treated very badly and know others who were treated worse. The Dutch are very, very open in their racism. It's not at all uncommon to have Dutch people tell you about the problems they have with Arabs, Israelis, Turkish and Moroccans. Yet, I'd swear they didn't know any of the above personally. Very sad situation. Even the local Gemeente is very difficult to deal with. - Oct 2011
