Overeem etc... Why the Dutch are the Dutch

Grijswaarde said:
Riding a bike is the second thing. In Holland, no matter if you own a Rolls Royce, once in a while you grab the bike, and using a car for short distances is frowned upon. Children don't ride the bus to school, they take the bike. This way being active and sportive is embedded in Dutch culture.

Nutrition is the third and maybe most important part. In Holland the traditional meal consists of potatoes, vegetables and meat. We eat that shit every day. It is almost like a bodybuilder diet, the reason why there are not as much obese people in Holland.

Why you keep referring to your country as holland? holland is not a country. You are from netherlands. I can understand people from other places calling it holland, but a dutch calling his country holland is just weird.
 
It is true though, the Dutch are the tallest people in the world on average. People from that part of the world are the tallest in general.

It's not a Godwin if it's pertinent. Hitler isn't off limits for the duration of human existence beccause some people abuse it. I'd say when speaking about a Western European peoples' racial superiority, it's no reductio ad hitlerum to bring up ol' Adi.

And yes, I know you're kidding. I just really wanted to work "Van Hitler" in there.

Haha lol, yeah that was a nice one, my bad. ;)
 
Overeem is genetically half Dutch, why are people acting like he's simply Jamaican?
 
I went to Holland for a few weeks when I was younger. It was bikes or mopeds everywhere

I can't tell if this is trolling. If you are trolling, you're doing a good job.

Well... what else is there to say.. I actually live in Holland and we call it Holland. If the dutch soccer team plays everyone calls it Holland.

You have a point, Frysian people for example will never call it Holland, but over two third of all Dutch people live in the area that can be called Holland officially.

So really, the Dutch use the term Holland.

I know. Have people you seen his Dad? He's not even very big while his mom is like 5,10, clearly gets part of his size from his dutch genes.
