As a German, who lived in the Netherlands for a few month I can say that I really learned to love the Dutch people. I don't want to crawl them to much, but in general you really can say they are really nice people. On my first day I moved to Nijmegen without knowing anybody I got invited to one of my neighbours birthday party. I met a lot of nice open minded people. I'm in touch with some of them even almost four years after. Maybe I just got luck with the people I met - I don`t know...

This is more like Amsterdammers view Amsterdammers. The Netherlands is more than just Amsterdam, much more. I think people will be telling different things in Groningen, Arnhem, Rotterdam or Maastricht. Lots of people you interview aren´t even Dutch. I think in Amsterdam people really think they are the centre of the world, while in the rest of the country people work hard, do their own thing and don´t pretend to much. What is even more funny is the stereotypes foreigners have, like everyone is smoking weed, riding a bicycle, living in a mill, wearing wooden shoes and every weekend visit either a coffee shop or go to the red light district. I think it is a bit chidlish when you see the world or a country like that.

+Carmen I do not agree at áll with agressive and racist people that defend Black Pete by claiming everyone should go back to their country if they don't like it. But I am 'pro-' Pete myself. In a more rational way. Having seen so many black people that agree with me and especially joined the parade, since 'black petes' weren't allowed in their city anymore and they didn't feel like painting their faces white. And if we're comparing either way; Try asking the Americans to change the elves and see how they respond. Try asking the Americans to change the factory-ideas (the fact that elves are genuienly slaving away in the factories, whereas Petes are being shown playing volleyball and drinking ice tea for 10 months a year) and see how they respond. The elves are nót being honoured in American, the same way as the Petes are in The Netherlands. They don't get Elf-tattoo's, they don't want to follow shows about Elves and see them solving crimes, they don't give a shit, they want to see Santa. And here, Petes are being seen as the superheroes, helping the old, fragile guy on his horse once a year. I have a deal. When America ditches the elves alltogether, The Netherlands will ditch our beloved Black Pete. Untill then, it'll have to be discussed and I surely agree with changes to his appearance. Such as rules about the lipstick (no 'big lips drawn with the lipstick) and their former submissive behaviour (nót anymore, Pete and Saint are equal!)

Yafa, your show is really great, especially how "Dutch view Dutch." I lived in Utrecht for 5 years and was married to a somewhat high-profile Dutch lady, although she would never say such a thing. Her sister hated me, primarily because I was an American. I'm not exaggerating. When my soon-to-be Dutch wife brought me to her sister's home (sister was rich), even with my at the time-limited understanding of Dutch, I could understand much of what she stated about "buitenlanders", especially about Americans. Throughout my life in Holland, it seemed that Dutch culture was divided between Dutch who accepted people from other countries and people who hated people from other countries. You've got to remember the "Splender of the Riches"(great book), as the Dutch as a very small country, were the top traders and were at one time, one of the richest countries in the world back in the 1600s and 1700s. I love the young blonde lady who commented about one of the most important traits of Dutch, "you don't want to stand out"! Early in my marriage to my Dutch wife, she explained it like cutting grass (and I don't mean the wonderful smoke), but a blade of grass that was taller because it would eventually get cut down to size. In the arts(I've been a filmmaker for 40 years), Dutch artists of all types basically have to move to another country to become famous. That's easy to discover when looking at Dutch artists (including filmmakers), they move to the US, France, Germany, etc., and become famous. If I went to a bar in Utrecht, especially after living several years in Holland, Utrecht being a college town, young Dutch at the bar would ask where I come from. I would tell them in Dutch that I was from Utrecht. They would laugh, and again ask me where I came from. After living legally for 2 years in Holland, I became a "Dutch element" regarding my position in how European films are funded. During those early 2 years, I made what was referred to as "black money", money paid under the table. The little I did make (I lived in Utrecht from 1990-1995) was from taking an old program called "Movie Master" and re-formatting Dutch writer's screenplays correctly so they could then be submitted to the European Script Fund in London. Europe (at least during those years) had a major public funding effort called the European Media Fund (hopefully my memory serves me the correct name of the programme), which invested $5 billion in movies over each 5 year period to time as a "fist" up against American movies that at that time had taken over 95% of most of Europe's theaters. Part of the reason for this was that the "powers that be" were concerned about how this was affecting the cultural aspect of Europe. I became a Dutch qualified element after the mandatory 2-year mark and now being an official "Dutch" cultural element (which is funny as I'm a loudmouth Texan). Yet, I still faced the harsh scrutiny placed especially against in particular, Americans, and especially, in my opinion, against someone who looked like they sounded and had just stepped out of the TV series "Dallas". My being an "American" was most difficult for me and the discrimination continued and even got worse, especially during the period of the O. J. Simpson trial. Every time I went to a party, many people would immediately jump on the bandwagon of what a joke "trial by jury" was in America. Holland doesn't have jury's, they have a group of judges who decide a "perf's" future. In order to survive at the parties, I started studying the absurdities of the Dutch legal system so I would have decent "comebacks" to the hilarious attacks on the American judicial system (and rightfully correct). After 5 years, my life ended in Holland. I was so depressed I even tried to kill myself which was also hilarious as a friend of mine saw thru my window that half the ceiling had fallen on my head. The worse thing about most of this, and I'm not sure it's simply a "Dutch" thing, is that when I left Holland after years of my investment in striving to find my place in Dutch society, I felt forcibly exiled. In the end, you have to be "Dutch". I'm sure that plenty of other people have somehow had good experiences with their life in Holland. I came back to DFW (Dallas Ft. Worth Airport) in tears and standing on the curb at the airport next to most of the Lufthansa flight attendants who had been on my flight. So, there was my next unsuccessful marriage. Just kidding!

I, as a Dutchman, always like to compare ourselves to a small community. The Netherlands has quite a large and diverse population, yet we all feel like we're all pretty down to earth and just a big family. Especially during football (or soccer) games of the national team the cohesion (idk if this is the right word) is literally unbelievable. Another thing that you must experience when visiting the Netherlands is Kingsday. On Kingsday you can see exactly what the Dutch are like. However, the stereotype of the Dutch being greedy is in many cases true, and I view this as a problem. Sure, people can be nice and there are exceptions, but many people will find it weird if you take more than one cookie when you come over for coffee. This is just because it's a sort of unwritten rule. Also, the Dutch are indeed very direct people (I'm an example) and that can be quite annoying. But hey, in the end we are just pretty cool people so come over and smoke a couple a blunts :p

In a much broader view it seems like life here is very systematic and everyone follows the same path through life (with some exceptions).

Hi i’m mexican, i think i can call myself a bilingual, because i can speak spanish and english, right now i’m learning dutch, i just wanted you to know that in Mexico less than a 15% of the population is bilingual, so it’s kinda sad, we have no good schools and neither good students.

Anyway we (in Europe, i am italian) are so opinionated when it comes to the USA... which is weird because in the end if there is a puzzle country that is indeed a collection of very different people out there this is the US. This is eventually why tradition, religion and conservatism in the US is so key compared to basically anywhere in Europe? Maybe...

From living in The Netherlands for almost a year, I can say the following about dutch people. They're not so open-minded, they stick within their comfort zones and the community overall in Amsterdam seems segregated. Dutch people, aren't so helpful and don't provide an explanation even when asked to. Dutch people, are frugal with their money and lack ambition, so yes being content with being 'average' is true.
@sumimaind6 жыл бұрын
*My honest opinion based on my 5 year experience in The Netherlands with Dutch people:* *Positives:* - Dutch people are very trustworthy. If they say they will do something, you can usually count on them because they do. - They tend to be quite humble and down to earth in their society. Not everyone is, but in general, people will not show off too much if they have money. You won't see huge inequality like in American cities for example. For them, it is considered tacky to show off and they prefer to have equal treatment for all when it comes to wealth. There are of course exceptions. - Dutch people speak English very well, and sometimes even more languages. Even elderly people! - People tend to be fit and good looking. They often bike to work/school. You rarely see obese people. In the cities there's a big trend about eating healthy and vegan. *Negatives:* - Dutch people are not very social. They tend to be quite cold and distant and tend to talk only to people they know. It's really hard to break the ice with them and you have to put a lot of work, but also, don't invest too much otherwise they will get scared away. Sometimes its worth to put the effort, but sometimes you do put the effort to break the ice and you just don't get anything back. - Dutch people can be very judgmental indeed. Sometimes they will stop whatever they are doing just to prove a point to you because they don't agree with what you are doing. They even have a saying that says: "Be normal, that's crazy enough." So if you don't act according to what they think is the norm, you will be constantly judged in Dutch society. Specially as a foreigner. - The Dutch, nowadays, are not as liberal as they once were. They think they are more open minded than they actually are. In Amsterdam or Rotterdam people tend to be a little more liberal than other areas, but anywhere else people are actually very conservative. Its not uncommon to hear racist jokes when you are in a group of only Dutch people. - Dutch people are not very good when it comes to express emotions, or feelings. They might be direct when it comes to say something about work or if you bike in the red light but when it comes to express their feelings or emotions in a relationship, you will probably hear crickets most of the time.

Great work Yafa. I lived in Germany for 6 years, and had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling throughout Europe, and I was married to a German woman for several years. It's funny how stereotyped you become, just by being a US citizen. I like the fact that you get a view of their culture as seen by themselves. It helps visitors to understand them. I know, "we", as in US citizens can be pretty clueless, obnoxious, and in my case drink a lot. I am trying not to repeat my past stereotypical behavior when I retire, and do the Eurorail thing. Thank you for helping me along brother. Luckily for me, I have 2 adult daughters living in Germany to help school me too, and as dual citizens, they get the American perception as well. I was never able to visit Amsterdam although I lived 2 hours away in Germany. I was in the US Army, and I never went, because I like weed too much. Soldiers always got a urine test for thc when they got back from Amsterdam.

Most inportant one was mostly forgotten, we are most of all direct and to the point. If we are not open minded or anything along those lines, you can still count on us being honest about our viewpoints. So a fair warning, if your skin is made of paper. And you handle the truth coming in like a freighttrain, worse then a paper towel handles a high pressure water jet. Then stay clear of your average Dutch person. It is usually nothing personal, but it will be honest, direct and time effecient. P.S. being "open minded" can be taken way to far, there has to be a point where you say fuck this shit, I will take care of my own first for example.

@FrisianTravellerX8 жыл бұрын
It really depends on were you hold the interview. As a Frisian i would say most of us are pretty proud and like to distinguish ourselves from the Dutch (even though we are a part of the Netherlands). Also in Leeuwarden i've heard from exchange students that when they were lost and ask someone on the street to help them they would help them straight away. Ofcourse this depends on the persons you meet. But to get a better view on the Netherlands and different cultures you should have gone to other places in the Netherlands as well. Since the views all of the Netherlands are different especially comparing with Amsterdam. Just as a extra note: if you go to a bigger city such as Amsterdam things are more rushed while in the smaller cities things are more relax. Love your videos btw :P.

Love from India. I loved dutch culture and dutch people. They can be funny and somewhat clumsy. I also had heard about the dutch being direct and blunt. I used to admire that quality about the duch because its opposite to Indians who can be very non-confrontational and jump around bushes while dealing with others, until I met a stranger dutch guy in a London flat Elevator. Buoy was he direct to my flatmate who was an American! Of course, the two had a go at each other as Americans don't let a fight go that easily. Hehehe. But the dutch guy started it and man It really came off as rude and arrogant. I think Indians would run away with that kind of directness and wrongly cry racism. But overall I feel the Dutch are very liberal, just and good people who can bring order to this world. Maybe if a million dutch people migrated to India it would bring India lot of good. Viva La Netherlands.

Asking people to stereotype themselves in a city like Amsterdam will reap you stereotypes of Amsterdammers and not Dutch people in general. Apart from very basic similarities it will be imposible to stereotype the Dutch. Travel 10KM outside the city and people will no longer recognize any of it. Basic similarities that *used* to count through Dutch history are sayings like: "Act normal, thats crazy enough". Yet all these slowly dissipate as culture evolves and new trends arrive.
