You have to remember that English is based on a mix of languages which was simplified considerably so the English could vaguely understand it

I've heard that every Dutch citizen from 5 yr old and up is issued a bag of corks to plug leaks in dikes when they see them
That tale is an utter lie, they say the kid stuck his finger in a dike and saved the town but when I tried the same she had me arrested

get your sister to try, see how she likes that
OMG I wasn't even familiar with that as a slur. Had to google it. Guess what my favorite shoe is (yes I rushed upstairs to take a pic of them)
F'n snowflakes these days, why back in the day their parents
You don't know my sister, you can tackle that psychotic pit bull
They haven't tried Portuguese, oh my! Try that when drinking with your daughter-in-law

Nah, the clogs are so they can float/walk on water when they've been remiss in corking dykes, err, I mean dikes

Afrikaans is the youngest language in the world.
We understand the Dutch as we kept many of their figures of speech, but also developed a bunch of our own.
They are a difficult nation to get along with in my experience. Except for a girl I used to play with in first grade, they moved back to the Netherlands though.

Like everywhere, it depends on the person. The vast majority of Dutch people I've had the joys of encountering have been polite and friendly, and that's when I'm speaking Dutch so they don't really hear the Scots accent (change to English and the women sit there giving me their full attention, wear a kilt in public and they're likely to lose all control as well as leave trails behind them as they follow me), but, like everywhere, there's also some truly arrogant arseholes that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.
People say the same about South Africans, calling them arrogant, ignorant, cunts but, again, my experience thanks to working with them in places like London and even here in Belgium is one that completely contradicts that popular opinion.
Every country has it's share of arseholes, you can't define a nation because of the actions of a minority behaving like pricks.

For the most part, they would be right.

and yet, thats how the world judges America
Only a loud-mouthed minority of fucktards who have never been there, and I always take great pleasure pointing out to them that they are as thick as pigshit and incapable of independent thought, they have to be told what to think, and laugh at their hypocrisy as they head off to McVomits or Starbucks...
