Hilarious. Americans, keep projecting your culture of racism and violence on other countries!

Did you miss the first link? It made it to the washingtonpost and the reddit threads are mostly calling that post retarded. Much like you seem to be.

I've seen nigger printed in my local newspaper. It was an article about the whitewashing of Twain. The column was written by a black man.

We just can't win with you people. If we applaud "nigger" headlines then we're hillbilly confederate racists, if we disapprove of them then we're oversensitive weaklings obsessed with being PC.

@OP
I should add that Americans don't know or care about the Holland media.

There are no rights and wrongs, theres just "you're wrong." Deal with it.

Step 1. Don't write newspaper articles about newspaper articles in another country.
Step 2. Don't apply your own culture to the newspaper articles in another country.
Step 3. Don't get your jimmies rustled by the newspaper articles in another country.

Yes. The books are about race and racism. The article was reviewing the books. Learn to read.

Why are Dutch newspapers the go-to for foreign outrage? WTF? Why is everyone so interested in what the Dutch are putting in their daily papers?

---An open letter to our Dutch friends---

Dear Dutch people,

Please publish a cartoon of The Prophet Mohammed posting a "Hang all the niggers" sign under the hanging body of a black man which is being used as target practice by a fat American police officer. Just for good measure, you can have a slanty-eyed Asian stereotype helping a Jew in a yarmulke with a huge nose add up all his money in the background. The headline could be: "Dear World, Go Fuck Yourselves!" Please do this immediately.

Do not speak rudely to me. I have extensive experience with first person shooters, and have even completed Halo on legendary difficulty.

I will give you a pass this one time, but next time, I will have to put my experience to use.

Hint: "those people" are actually two distinct groups.

Unless they are trolls. Then it's just the same people.

God that Washington Post article is so bad. It barely even discusses the content of the article. Also it seems to think that a single headline somehow is representative of an entire nation.

dw double-posted this 11 years ago, 8 minutes later, 6 hours after the original post[^] [v] #589,617

Also the headline was quoting an American book.

"N-word"

Why american are so fond baby-speak like this? That's how our teachers spoke to us back when I 6 years old. "You are not allowed to use the p-word!". Is it because they don't want to trigger people?

You've done it now. Get ready for that post to be featured on national evening news. There will likely be protests and people with signs rioting in Detroit and Los Angeles by nightfall.
