@lynn @lassielmr @zleap @DidiQ In Dutch history in high school, also slavery and the Native American genocide were discussed, though never at that level of detail. Yes, lynchings, Jim Crow, Trail of Tears all referred to. And in the Netherlands we had our own ugly history, discussed in literature class. Unpleasant, but quite the opposite of harmful.

@Debnumbers @mekkaokereke Hmm. I grew up in the #Netherlands in a solidly white society. Not until high school did I meet darker-skinned people from #Suriname. Now NL never had slavery like the US, but that doesn't make us innocent: there was a corporation called the #VOC who 'owned' #Indonesia - even having their own military - and ran it essentially like a plantation. Dutch prosperity was built on this exploitation. So yes, #WhitePrivilege...
