Hey Aluxers, On this episode of Travel Tuesdays by Alux we're taking a look at the Netherlands
Which country/city should we do next week?

Slavery isn't taught at school? Huh? Guess I went to a foreign school.

[janveenhof]

I find it kind of offensive that you say we don't teach about slavery in Dutch schools. If you ask any Dutchman they will disagree. It is taught very thoroughly and isn't at all ignored, like you seem to put it. The opinions on Zwarte Piet are divided, but I know for sure that the Dutch don't ignore their black pages in history. We accept them and learn from them. It would be nice if you quit calling basically our school system basically racist, or at least saying it ignores horrible things the dutch did.

Saint nicolas is not the dutch version of santa claus but santa claus is the american version of saint nicolas. ( basically coca cola created santa claus based on saint nicolas and it became popular in the us.)

Wow this video is really full of mistakes. Please do your research before

[helenehuydecooper]

Clockwork Orange! what a nonsense. Who on earth told you that?

[Rico-uiwg]

Most things are new to me! And I am from the Netherlands.

It probably is new to me, because most of it is NOT true

[GameCommandoNL]

"The Dutch history in slavery is seldom taught in schools".... that is complete and utterly incorrect. It is required to know about the VOC and WIC (and the northern wheat trade) to pass history in high school. It is impossible not to get thaught about the Dutch slavery history if you attend high school for the full duration.

Clockwork orange? We don’t use that name🤔🤔🤷🏽‍♀️

[halloiemand]

the netherlands means low lands because the land is low, a big part of the land is under sea level

[Entron]

Most of the things are wrong. Please check your sources! And only say facts. Thank you!

[MJ-rvri]

It isn't called Clockwork Orange here at all. It's called Oranje, which translates to the colour orange

[MeloraCarabas]

The funny thing about the commotion about Black Pete is how many people just ignore the fact that Saint Nicholas is very well known for sticking up for supressed people.
Many legends of Saint Nicholas have him defending the poor, the young, even prostitutes. And of course he also didn't approve racism and therefore did not condone slavery.
At the introduction of Black Pete he was called a "knecht" which is a Dutch word for a servant that is being employed and paid.
On the black face make up. The Netherlands do not have a culture of using black face make up for ridiculing colored people. It is not used in Dutch performances like it's used in the USA.

It is a shame the female cannot pronounce - Gouda

[susandijker]

Weed is not legal here it is just not illegal

[theroyalpotato]

Gouda isn't the home of our nations oldest cheesemarket, that honor befalls to the city of Alkmaar.

[nigeldierks]

Frits Goldschmeding is the richest man in the Netherlands, but not the richest person. That is Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, the daughter of the founder of Heineken beer, with €12, 5 billion. So why do you address the number two?

[ranchowashikembahorseranch]

Proud to be Dutch! Did you know that the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean is also part of the Netherlands?

[dirk]

what a lot of bull.... 80% is not right AND IM DUTCH!!!

The Netherlands Soccer Team is called just "Oranje" and in one old song: Een leeuw op voetbalschoenen : A Lion on Soccer shoes.
