    The Netherlands has a reputation for being tolerant

    It’s absolute bullshit

    Smoking weed in Amsterdam does not a tolerant society make

    Lots of people are sorely disappointed when they encounter the Dutch in the wild

      I think the reputation is also because the Netherlands was the first country to legalize gay marriage, but that’s like 25 years ago. We’ve certainly not become more tolerant in the mean time unfortunately.
