“Give me one example of a multi-ethnic or multicultural society, where the original inhabitants are still living... and where they live in coexistance. I can't think of one. Don't say Australia or the US as the natives there have been exterminated.”
Stef Blok (2018) [1]
“Surinam is a failed state. And that has a severe connection with ethnic division. You quickly discover what the limits are of what a society can handle.”
Stef Blok (2018) [1]
“Singapore is indeed a small mini-country, extremely selective in their migration.... they don't allow poor migrants in. Yes, maybe for cleaning.”
Stef Blok (2018) [1]
“I don't think you'll ever be able to centrally organize the EU countries accepting refugees in equal amounts. Eastern-Europeans would never agree to that. Even if we would force them, hands on their back and they'd say "yes", even then, walk a week through Warsaw or Prague. There are no coloured people there. They would be gone within a week. They would be literally beaten up. They don't have a life there.”
Stef Blok (2018) [1]
