Dark-skinned refugee beaten for saying hello to a girl
Quote:
Ismael, a dark-skinned refugee who is wanting permanent stay in the Netherlands, walked up to a girl on a bicycle path to say hello. She didn't want anything from it and called him a ''Black Pete''. After that, she told her that dad who wasn't pleased at all by Ismael's actions and shared a picture of him on Facebook with the words ''Who's seen this man'' on it. It's been shared hundreds of time since then, only causing three men to find Ismael and to beat him up.
Mind you, most of the Dutch are actually tolerant and extremely open and nice to other cultures, but there's a huge group of people who still have racist tendencies and the Dutch society is neglecting that. This is getting serious (especially with the discussion regarding Black Petes) and people have go to realise racism is still a severe topic even in 2013.
