White Dutch actress Wendy van Dijk transforms into a black woman from the Antilles and presents a painfull racist caricature.
"Blackface" is one of the most pernicious and painful stereotypes about people of African descent. It is also global. Blackface has appeared everywhere from Mexico to Japan, and it is always ugly, despite what those who put it on claim.
The worst part is that It isn't that the Dutch television makers did not know that what they were doing was shocking and offensive; they just thought they could get away with it.

  • aaawww... wat zielig. Voel jij je gediscrimineerd joh ... Dit is geen racisme maar `n parodie. Bovendien SPEELT zij `n surinaams karakter (of vrouw dan). Een ROL dus. Niet dat zij surinamers of antillianen benadeeld, anders had zij er totaal anders van gemaakt. Belachelijk ook om nota bene een Engelstalige synopsis van te maken. Alsof engeltaligen dit filmpje kunnen verstaan en begrijpen. B E L A C H E L I J K !!!

  • I think it's funny. I'm surinamese dutch and i find it so funny that she sounds more Surinam than Antillian. i don't feel offended in the slightest. dutch people are known for their "edgy" sense of humor. Granted; it's not for everyone. But, i find it funny when Americans(in particular) act so "shocked" and indignant. Coming from a country where a HUGE majority is still inherently, racist.

  • Ziet er meer uit als een of ander figuur dat net uit het brandwondencentrum is ontslagen.

    (Ja, ik vind d'r gewoon eng)

  • @rodkongasan80 Goeie reactie,precies zoals het is!

  • This is not racist. She acts as ushi, as well, a japanese interpreter. Funny as hell.

  • I don't think Wendy van Dijk is a racist. She is just stupid! If you imitate an Antillian woman with a Surinamese accent then you are really stupid. It's like imitate a native English with a Chinese accent. Wendy van Dijk is really Stupid!!!!!!

  • kanker kanker wendy van dijk je mag dood vallen

  • It's called humor...

  • Tja.. "Enkel de waarheid kwetst" zeggen ze dan he.

  • @PhaeryGirl Ze doet een Antilliaan na geen Surinamer. Ze zegt toch Curaçao.

  • To understand a Dutchy, you have to be a Dutchy
