the look of immigration in rotterdam

Charles, whenever I am in Rotterdam it is stunning to see the number of immigrants. The dutch people around there are very tall on the european scale. By the sheer number of people obviously too small to be dutch I get the impression that I am in some other country. Because I am a foreigner myself I get to hear from oriental immigrants that many of them feel contempt for the Netherlands. Something they wouldn't say to somebody dutch that easily.
