Oi. Any Americans reading this. Question for ya.

lizzymodblog:

Us, the Dutch (and most other Europeans), like to stereotype you guys as fat, gun-toting, war-crazed, homophobic, overly Christian nutters. We know that’s probably just the far right, but that’s just how these stereotypes work.

So, for the sake of equal humiliation, how do Americans stereotype the Dutch? I’d actually like to hear.

Hopefully something more than just Gouda, bikes and windmills, as that’s ancient history at this point. That’s like going to Egypt and expecting everyone to still write in hieroglyphs. Suffice it to say, I’d be severely disappointed.

Anyway, lay it on me. What, if anything, is the Dutch stereotype?

While most people aren’t the steroetype, there is a fair amount of people who are. A majority of the stereotypes live in south western area.
However, we do have many guns but that is because we have the constitutional right to revolt against the government, should they become too powerful and abuse said power. Unfortunately, our education system is very poor and most people don’t realize that. but a revolution will most likely happen in our lifetimes.

  3. adurot answered: Wooden shoes, windmills and tulips. Also Dutch letters.
  4. deeceeoh answered: I went to a middle school and high school with mostly Dutch students and teachers, so I guess all of your surnames end with ‘sma’ or 'stra’?
