Travel Info Are there a lot of people of African descent living in The Netherlands today? Travel Tips yes, mostly in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. They recently came from Suriname (in south America), part of the Netherlands till the seventies (the Dutch traded that country at gunpoint to New Amsterdam from the English ages ago, later that was called New York). The Dutch shipped slaves from Africa to Suriname to work. In the 80 a lot of people from Suriname came to Holland. Today the "Surinamers" are part of our multicultural society. Source(s): History facts, sorry not nice ones (i'm Dutch). Other Travel Tips I would imagine so.They have more Germans and English than anything else. Wikipedia Statistics in 2005 said 3.000.000 people of a non-Dutch background live in our country, of which 1 million came from within Europe or the USA. The majority of the other two million are Turkish and Moroccan people. As for people of African descent: Africans 178.000 Surinam 328.312 (mainly descendants of Africa and Asia) Antillians 129.721 (mainly descendants of Africa) Hope this answers your question Am Dutch http://www.foquz.nl/allochtonen/... Primarily Moroccans, but very few that come directly from central or Southern Africa. The biggest group we have of people from indirect African descent are the Surinamese, from Surinam, an ex colony of the Netherlands in South America (north of Brazil). |
