Should Governments Translate Documents into Other Languages

Hello Know-It-Alls! Y'all inspired me to look a bit more into governments and wether they translate documents into other languages.

    I am a black woman and sometimes I get 'shoulder checks" or people bumping aggressively into my shoulder, usually by men. And when I was in Mcdonalds finishing my order, one Dutch woman pushed me because she wanted to use the monitor to place an order. And then, I get Dutch people who are nice to all the white looking people but ignore me or aren't as nice towards me. And then, maybe not really racism (or is it?) but my dating life here is terrible. I feel invisible to men, guys don't look at me or notice me or check me out, never approached or flirted with. But in the USA it is the complete opposite and I never felt unattractive living in America. But then I think, how can I expect to be considered attractive in a country that openly engages in Zwarte Piet?

    I noticed the friendly part. I visited The Netherlands for the first time, and I parked my rental car in a neighborhood. I had a lost look trying to figure out if I need to pay, how to pay, and for how long. A guy looked and smiled at me. I approached him and said, "sorry to bother you, but I'm not sure what to do here?". He was very helpful. I had the experience with females as well.

    Your employer does not simply sent someone to your house to check on you when you call in sick. The company you work for will after some time sent a specialized medical mediator in the case of a long term illness (burnout) not to spy not because of distrust but to help you and find solutions to return to work. This person does not share private medical information with your employer.

    As a Turk, I've actually never felt discriminated in the NL. There are very rare situations, but it is coming from pretty much everybody, Moroccans, Blacks, White Dutch people (or "natives" as Americans like to call). Tourists mostly. Nederturken: those Turks who came to the NL in 1950s are also quite stranger to me. They've never experienced secularism in Turkey and most of these people left Turkey because they were poor, but make no mistake, religion was also a big factor. When they were fleeing Turkey, the women were not even allowed to cover their head in public institutions. So, it's understandable they isolated themselves and the Dutch (also the German) were ok with that. But times have changed. In the NL there isn't any kind of discrimination against Turks. I can't speak about the Moroccan side, some people think just because we're both muslims, we must be same and should be mentioned together in every sentence, but in reality Turks are closer to Italian than they are to Moroccans. I think in the NL Americans should also be worried a little bit about being discriminated. The situation might be worse for them. Being white won't be enough, this is not racism, this is nationalism.

    I'm Asian Australian and I've experienced more racism in my study abroad in NL than my entire life in Australia. I've had people make kung fu noises at me, do slant eyes, call out "Ni Hao" or "Konnichiwa", speak real slow as if I don't understand English. Then there's that Hanky Panky Shanghai Birthday song. Most Dutch just brush it over and use the "Dutch directness" excuse to let it slide but won't accept the fact that they're being racist. A lot of the Dutch people also had no problem saying to me how racist they thought Australia was then get all shocked when I told them I've had more racism in the Netherlands. These same people complained about all the foreigners coming but then when I remind them I'm a foreigner too they said "Not you, you're one of the good ones". And wait until you hear what they think about Turks and Moroccans.

And I won’t be able to buy my favourite moisturiser. That is my big issue. In London, I know how things work. I have no idea about NL except that it is very bureaucratic. You are right.

    First of all, the United States is a leader in medical technology. Secondly, their health system is the most expensive of the whole world, with appalling results. Therefore, the average age in the States is 4 years lower than tin other developed nations, including the Netherlands. Partly because of this, no one I know, until I saw this, thought the health systems of the US and the Netherlands were equally good.

    Like 90% of your reverse culture shocks can be linked to excessive car culture. Think about it, 100 years ago the road was shared equally between all road users, but now everything has to make way for the car. Would road kill be such a problem if car culture wasn't so dominant? How about going out after dark? The fact that you can't walk anywhere anymore? Big box stores with huge parking lots that you go to once a week? Car culture makes people into insular little units who move between "Living Place" and "Work Place" and "Consume Place" in their protected metal boxes. It's a very unnatural and anti-social way to live. People deserve the right to be able to live their life to the fullest without having to own a car.
