  2. They aren't Africans, as the Netherlands isn't in Africa and further North. Tijani Reijnders mother is half Ambonese, Ambon has strong ties to the Netherlands for about 3 times longer than the Southern province of Limburg. Her first name is Angelina, in their Indonesian tradition of giving their Netherlands born children European names rather than old fashioned Dutch ones, but not Indonesian. Just like they weren't taught Indonesian or Malayan at home but proper Dutch by their grandparents. They called their son Tijani, a Nigerian name, just because they liked the name, just like there are lots of Yuris, Björns, Marios, Johns, Svens, Jaris and Kevins in the Netherlands. It just doesn't get much more Dutch than Tijani Reijnders. That's a whole different story than fake African and Middle-Eastern refugees coming in by the thousands and getting Dutch citizenship for being on welfare and taking up scarce social housing for 5 years, bypassing the waiting list. Those people and the guest workers that refused to go back their children and grandchildren often don't even want to play for the country they live and have a citizenship from. They call half of their sons Mohammed to apparently make the point the Dutch shouldn't be able to keep them apart and see them as Dutch individuals. These are two completely different things. Many dark skin and Asian features is the product of history and integrating those people since forever. We don't have such a history with the Middle-East or even Africa at all.
