I took this (horrible) photo from Dutch TV last night (Amsterdam channel AT5). It shows the unemployment figures broken down by ethnicity in The Netherlands:

• Under 25 year old classified as ethnically Moroccan: 28% of unemployment
• Under 25 year old classified as ethnically Surinamese: 27% of unemployment

(Contrast to the average national of 6.9% for under 25 year old unemployment rates; which is, according to the source linked, the lowest in the EU).

Overall unemployment rates for non White (allochtoon) people in The Netherlands:

• For those with a lower education path (i.e. high school & vocational training): 16%
• For those with higher education paths (i.e. university and/ or tertiary education): 9%

Contrast with the overall national average of 4.2%

Now, I’d like to hear more Dutch arguments about how this business of “institutionalized” or “state sponsored” racism does not exist in this country.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
