Very simple answer! Because it it does rhyme with "Much"!
You're not much if you're not Dutch.
Are you naive???
They look after the graves for selfish reasons, they get to plant more damn tulips on them.
I was going to say I love the Dutch again but that might piss off a certain TERBIE of Danish extraction
.
Did you know that the Dutch bought Manhanttan Island for $24 worth of knieves and trinkets that they bought at a "dollar store"?

The question is... How much did they sell it for, and how much profit did they make! LOL!
(I thought it was Henry Hudson that bought it... Or was he just the English explorer that was hired by the Dutch to lead the expedition aboard the Half Moon- AKA Halve Moen)

I been to Amsterdam.
I thought my idea was way off base but then some guy verified it for me.
The Dutch and surrounding country's don't have that many hot looking woman. The ratio is very low.
They might be close to cute or sweet but not Hot.
Friendly yes but other than that....

Xaviera Hollander should cut herself smaller portions.

The Dutch did not sell. The English took Manhattan in a war.
Peter Minuit went to Dollarama and bought $24 worth of knieves and trinkets and offered that as payment for Manhattan. The Indians invested that $24 in GIC's and with compounded interest is now worth $4 trillion.
I was wondering if anyone would get the Hollander connection...
Imagine how poorly she would have done in her career if she had been known as Xaviera Dutch, not nearly as exotic sounding as Xaviera Hollander. Kind of flat, like a fish falling on the kitchen floor. Splat. Dutch. Splat.
And don't get me started on Milhouse Van Houten:
In the episode, "Little Orphan Millie", it is revealed that Milhouse is part Dutch and Danish. Poor guy, imagine having to go through life knowing that about yourself!
Milhouse was named after US President Richard Nixon, whose middle name was Milhous. The name was the most "unfortunate name Matt Groening could think of for a kid".

Don't play the laughing boy. There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Slinger, you are usually a pretty good speller but I have noticed several mistakes this evening. Have you been into the sauce tonight, maybe slinging a few??
I'm sorry. I'm just somewhat depressed that I have NO FRIENDS. BTW: If my car breaks down outside CB, can I call a "friend" to come fetch me?
Actually, that is not quite correct. The word "Dutch" originally referred to all people in continental Europe outside of Britain and the Scandinavian countries who spoke a Germanic language. This would include people from what is now the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria as well as German-speaking people from central and eastern Europe. This referred to a time prior to the 19th century when Germany as a country did not exist, but instead consisted of numerous smaller kingdoms.
(That is how you have the concept of Pennsylvania Dutch, that is descendants of German and Swiss immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania during the 17th and 18th centuries).
To distinguish between the different groups, the people of the Netherlands (Holland) and Belgium were referred to as "Low Dutch" (due to the flat elevation of the land) and the Germans were referred to as "High Dutch" (in reference to the Alps).
Even today the Germans refer to themselves as "Deutsch" and the Dutch refer to themselves as "Duits".
