I know I have stopped aswering the phone in public if the caller doesn’t speak Dutch.

It's that bad? I know little about the political climate in the Netherlands apart from what I've read in the last week, but that's depressing to read mate

It’s not a recent thing. Being obviously foreign was not an issue until the mid 00s, but gradually things shifted. I tend to try and blend in when I can. Major light skin privilege.

It’s not something I discuss with my Dutch friends. They don’t understand.
