Latest developments in the Netherlands
- we cannot make anymore jokes about Islam,
- we force a manufacturer in the Netherlands to drop the name of his product, ‘negerzoen’, which he used for 86 years but has been used more than 200 years in Europe,
- we drop the name jodenkoek for another product with the same kind of history,
- and now we are simplifying our view on our Dutch history. Sure our prime minister made a silly remark about the Dutch East India Company. But simplifying it by saying that the Dutch East India Company is the same as the Dutch West India Company and the only thing both companies did was trade in slaves is rather insulting.
