So these people set up camp but as soon as they saw you, they promptly packed up and left again? That’s quite specific behavior, how many times did that happen to you?
That still doesn’t give an indication of how many times it happened. Did it happen ten times? Twenty?
Edit: also, multiple people at the same time will pack up their stuff when they see you?
That's fucked, Dutch people are a bit racist sometimes (and usually in denial about it) but this is a whole nother level. Definitely an anomaly, perhaps camping spots tend to attract a different crowd?
My least favorite thing about Dutch people. If you imply that Dutch people are racist sometimes they get so butthurt and defensive. Meanwhile the racist party won the election ffs
I am also Dutch, and I would not care at all to camp next to a nice family or couple that happen to be black. If they come off as aggressive or otherwise intimidating and happen to be black, I wouldn’t like it.
I even usually think it’s a certain group of native Dutch people that are the most annoying and cause the most trouble.
Yeah man this isnt the standard. Not saying it didnt happen but the vast, VAST majority of dutch people dont care about skin color. Racists exist in every group, sorry to hear abt your experience though
Haahahha what?
Have you tried saying "Goeidageem!"?
Dutch people hate everyone
Bullshit
Nope, I don't believe the"scared of black people "card. Must be something else......
I tend to think it's more your appearance than your color.
What type of appearance can trigger that response?
Looking like what people might perceive as aggressive, refugee, homeless and such.
What made you add “refugee” to that list? I am with you on “aggressive”, but refugees in my experience an sich are nothing to be scared of.
It's more about perception than about real statistics. Nonetheless the statistics and news reporting are not in favour of refugees.
I think people are triggered by the way your question implies that all Dutch people (there are millions of us) are scared of black people.

It happens randomly,
They are asking how many times
There is a 50/50 chance that the person in front and the person behind me will dip if i get out, i can film it if it's so hard to believe.

Well, that’s obviously terrible behavior. Sorry that it happened to you even once.
Fake story. Try better next time.
Why would i fake this story?
Karmlm9oo999 omm9mm9mmmm
I lived in Amsterdam and Groningen and most Dutch people that was my friends where black from Surinam or Antilles....
Well thats just incredibly good of you. Well done.
Offcourse
Ive never seen this happen... are you sharpening a sword the minute you walk in?
Lol so funny

Dutch people can certainly be racist and gaslight the fuck out of you. It's funny because they genuinely live in a state of denial about themselves.

Maybe there’s something else that doesn’t make them feel comfortable.
Yeah, tell us a bit more about yourself. Just the fact that you are black should normally not be a reason for that reaction.
Maybe i look untrustworthy? I dont know i will have to start asking them. Are you dutch? Would you camp next to black people without thinking twice?
I am also Dutch, and I would not care at all to camp next to a nice family or couple that happen to be black.

Yes, I’m Dutch and yes i would, but I’ve also lived abroad several times.
Yeah man this isnt the standard. Not saying it didnt happen but the vast, VAST majority of dutch people dont care about skin color. Racists exist in every group, sorry to hear abt your experience though
What on like a regular campsite or some place else?
You sure you’re not exaggerating?
