Why Do Dutch People Hate Admitting They Are German

Hey it's the EU...We're all German now.

 

Can I be Australian? They always seem fun.....and I already speak the laguage

 

Nope....Sorry....We Don't Welcome Your Type Here....Sooo .....Pissoff....



Cheers Glen.

 

I don't nescesarily have to go there. I just want to claim to be from there in confusing ways on Internet forums and talk with the accent from time to time

 

It means more than that, roamy, and doesn't "basically" mean the "language of the Germans". I'd explain it further but I honestly don't think you're willing to learn.

 

Remember, we are dealing with an OP who believes she is Irish and Gypsy royalty.

 

Can't emphasize this ridicilous mistake strong enough Holland indeed actually became a safe haven for lots of jews around that time. Before (and after) that time jews have unfortunately been a common scapegoat in almost all christian/european nations. Of course the majority of christians were hardly aware in the middle ages that their Saviour himself actually was a jew

 

I have a bratwurst in my pants..I must be German

 

He was German, Skip. The people he ruled over weren't.

When it comes to the Germanic world there are differences. Those differences are sometime subtle but they do exist.

 

Hello,

there seems to be a lot confusion connected with this topic. I try to shed some light on it, my friends.
This is a Dutch wench:



This is a German wench (if you are confused, the wench is on the right side of the pic):



I hope you can spot and understand the differences between the Dutch and the Germans now. Thanks for listening.

Around that time most of the Netherlands would be considered part of Spain. After that we became independant and developed the identity of netherlandish people, or in english: dutch. Even when the region of the netherlands were part of the german Holy Roman empire and Burgundy the people in the area that are now the netherlands had their own identity.
Although the language would be perceived as german (deutsch) like every language under the influence of the Holy roman empire every region in those days had their own local dialect (or germanic language if you will) so it wasn't the same as the german that was spoken in parts we now call Germany. The people could be and probably were considered german by most of the world because they were officially part of the empire.

 

2.11775 aprox of people in america declared their british/american ancestry. though in 1980 at the start of hunger strikes in ireland that number dropped in american census records by 20million,when 20million british/americans changed their ancestry from british/american to americans.

 

correct! we still have a small handful of the same orange croud over here.the British/Germans.only their not half as fearless as the Iirish.:2thumbsup:

 

Ok. What significance is this?

 

Yeah, a lot of americans obviously have british ancestry. That doesn't make them british. And to be more exact by the way, William of Orange wasn't the founder of the Netherlands, but the leader of the revolt against the spanish king

 

Source for those numbers? Also, do you have any evidence to support your connection between the hunger strikes in Ireland and Americans "changing" their ancestry from "British/American" to just American?

 

And he wasn't Dutch. heh

 

Nope, technically a hessian who inherited a french princedom :biggrin: Perhaps at the time of his death he could be considered dutch since he got banned by the catholic king and could speak the dutch language (local dialect if you will .

 

probably for the same reason german people hate admitting they are dutch?

or do they?

personally i hate admitting i wear a human body.
