Professor: Native Dutch Need To Get Used To Being a Minority
2018-08-15
[Breitbart London] Dutch professor Maurice Crul has said that with the ever increasing number of migrants and migrant background people living in the Netherlands, that the native Dutch should just get used to being a minority.

A professor at the Free University in Amsterdam, Crul says that in the larger cities in the Netherlands white Dutch are already a minority and that such trends will follow in smaller cities and towns as well, Dutch newspaper Trouw reports.

"In Amsterdam the time has come: there this group is a minority. Only one in three young people under the age of fifteen is of Dutch descent," Professor Crul said and added, "If you want to know how the integration is going, you also have to look at that group. Who adapts to whom if there is no majority anymore?"

"The first guest workers were a small migrant group in a dominant culture. With the second and third generation that is an outdated idea. Integration now works in two directions," he said adding, "This way a Turkish Dutch person can become your new manager. Or your child is in the minority at school. That is the new reality that the old ’dominant majority’ will be confronted with."

Crul, along with a team of eight researchers, recently received 2.5 million euros from the European Research Council to conduct studies on the subject in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Antwerp, Malmö and Vienna.

#12  The younger generation was using the neighboring languages in preference in common, every day speech: English, French or German were in more common usage.


Those other languages are how they speak with non-Dutch speakers. Among themselves they happily revert to their own tongue, much like a small group of children babbling in their private variant of pig latin to the exclusion of outsiders.

#10  They also like to come to San Diego for work during the winter for some reason.

Probably because the only way to get around is ice skating.

#7  The Dutch own the company I work for. The place is packed with people speaking Dutch. I don't know about a decade ago but it is far from dead now.

They are all non-confrontational, super tall, and like colorful pants.

#6  Over a decade ago, before the current migrant surge, I had heard that the Dutch Language was going extinct as a Living Language. The younger generation was using the neighboring languages in preference in common, every day speech: English, French or German were in more common usage.

*Hmmm* Were they already starting to lose their Group Identity back then?

#5  Hey, I've an Idea - why not draw an analog of the Law of Return for Boers? I'm sure they'll have a very positive effect.

#4  'The first guest workers...'. Forgive me professor, but if they are A) guests and B) workers shouldn't they leave after, you know, actually working?

#3  He'll win a Kalergi prize soon for encouraging white genocide...

Unlikely a Turk will be someone's manager, when they're happy to sit accepting jizya.
