Plus Dutch kids also would make fun of Moroccan kids A LOT too. In Cali it's much less in the public schools because there are lots of non-whites here, tons of Mexicans and other minorities.
But from my opinion I think a lot of Dutch people don't like minorites at all (from what I experienced firsthand in school there). And in America lots of people are still prejudiced against blacks and have fucked up views. Probably ALL countries have lots of racism still.

The underling problem with racism I believe is that people feel they are being taken over, and their government isn't doing anything for them. Look at Holland, I saw a documentary on 60 minutes here about 2 months ago where it said within 10-20 years Holland's 3 largest cities will be majority muslim. Now, if you where a native Dutch person how would you feel? Moreover how would you feel if you live in a lower class area that is already largely muslim, and all you heard from your government was bullshit about being tolerant to the takeover.
What people need to realise is that we are at a point in history in which one of the largest population movements EVER is occurring, and quite frankly it is a one way street (i.e. immigration to the West). Young white, lower socio-economic (and also largely middle socio-economic classes) are being ignored by their governments while they are being forced to watch their country being taken over 1 city at a time.
Now I don't fool myself and think all racist people are looking at the broader picture (i.e. what is happening across the West) but when you grow up in such a situation, and all you hear is bullshit propaganda from your government about tolerating this takeover it pushes people to the extreme. If people had a legitimate voice they would not be so polarized and pissed off. They say the British will be the first country in history in which the native population will 'voluntarily' become a minority in their own homeland. Do you think the majority of the British 'voluntarily' want this to happen? Hell no. But their sellout government keeps pushing it on them, and well within increasing parts of the population there is a more emotional backlash to this.
What could be dealt with sensibly (like the Japanese have), is being pushed under the rug and it is pissing people off.
