Heres a tradition, after all, in which white people don minstrel-like clothes, wear frizzy wigs, paint their mouths a garish red and blacken their faces. It echoes all the worst iconography of Americas troubled racial past. The racial overtones seem clear: the Netherlands was once an imperial power, a possessor of overseas colonies teeming with plantations, and one of the major early drivers of the African slave trade.

Will the growing wave of immigration and international news coverage finally reach a high point where actual change can be made? Or are the Dutch firmly holding the defensive, hiding behind a wall of denial and tradition? mironline.ca/?p=2600
