“Where are you REALLY from? Do you eat noodles every day? Oh wow, your Dutch is so good!"

Yes—these are some common questions minorities get growing up in a western world…but did you know that there are about a million people of Asian descent in the Netherlands? (6% of the total population)?

Many people of color grow up in a society wanting to fit into a world that looks nothing like them. So...what is it like to grow up Chinese Dutch?

Hope you enjoy this conversation about the experience, challenges, and uniqueness of being Chinese Dutch. Enjoy and be kind!
