Freedom+and+Tolerance+in+the+Netherlands+by+Sam+de+Nooy

In Holland you have the right to say what you think. Every inhabitant of Holland has the same right. Everybody has freedom of speech. Most people accept each other the way he or she is. For example gays and people with an other culture or colour. But there are people who don’t do that. People who discriminate. When I see somebody with a dark skin, then I don’t think that that’s weird. When I’m in a shop and a Turk is standing next to me, then I feel safe. When I walk down the street in the evening, and I see a group of Turks, I don’t feel safe. In the Netherlands there are very many different cultures: Antilleans, Turks, people from Marocco, Africans etc. I’m fine with them as long as they leave me done, then I’m fine. All these cultures are accepted in the Netherlands. Not everybody does that, but the tolerance in the Netherlands is pretty big.
