What do you think about dutch people?

I'm a Dutchman and I would like to know how you - predominantly Americans I believe - view us, because I've heard that some of you have some pretty weird ideas about us.

They all smoke pot and use heroin 6
They're okay I guess 38
They're all cheap bastards 2
They're why the world sucks 1
They're all into kinky shit 6
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    The Dutch are awesome. You guys sure know how to run a country. The few Dutchmen I've met are very nice. Plus I have Dutch blood myself, so hey, haha.

    I have Dutch family so I'm biased but I like the Dutch for other reasons too. Although I've worked with the Dutch and my friend lived in Den Haag for years, most of my picture of how the Dutch are has been built up from the footballers and managers who have worked here. My favourite player ever is Dutch and some of my favourite managers are.

    I tend to see the Dutch as open, witty, tall, fair, and people who like to resolve conflicts face-on, even if it means people being temporarily upset.

    If my international team is knocked out of the tournament, I then choose to support the Spanish or Dutch instead (the World Cup Final was a toughie).

    Tulip crazed feral drug addicts. Ha jk. I play poker with a dutch immigrant, he's a good dude. Don't know enough dutch people to make any generalizations, but you seem like a nice culture.

    "All Dutch men are called jan :P"

    You think this is my real name?

    "But noone wears helmets when cycling, I like that :)"

    That is true. :)

    My grandfather apparently had very low opinion of the Dutch. I have no idea what this was based on, I guess it was just his racist side (my family is shamefully racist...it's so depressing).

    My uncle is Dutch. He's pretty much an idiot, but I don't pin that on his country of origin.

    Other Dutch people I've met have been lovely, very friendly and open.

      Is your grandfather a War Veteran? That may explain it somewhat.

    I don't think about you much. I don't know enough about Dutch culture to make any generalizations. In my eyes, you're neither good nor bad. You're people from a certain country. Aren't we all?

    I don't know any Dutch people, but this band is pretty awesome: The Blue Van.

    I just discovered them this morning :)

      The Blue Van is a ban from Denmark, not the Netherlands.

              Well, a lot of people are ignorant on this topic. That's perfectly logical. You can't know everything. We're ALL ignorant about certain things I guess.

    As an American, I strictly that all Europeans are into kinky, sexy shit and have hot European sex with foreigners. I have no evidence other than my fantasies, because I'm American and I don't know anything. I just know what I want, and I always GET what I WANT!

    Typical enough for you? lol Seriously though, all of heard is that the Dutch can speak to me in any language cause you all know every language. Doubt it's 100% true but I don't really care. I'm not concerned with anything about your country, just cause your country affect me at all right now.
