Nobody does anti Dutch racism quite like the English.
Really? I don't know many Brits who have a bad opinion of the Dutch. I certainly don't; I've never met a Dutch person I didn't like.
Comes of them being conquered by William of Orange back in the day.
Billy the who now?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]The Anglo-Dutch wars. William of Orange landed troops in London in 1688 and took the throne with Mary II. It's more complicated than that, but it was a whole Thing. Charles II died, leaving James II in charge, but Catholicism was on the way out, and conveniently, William of Orange, a Protestant, was married to Mary II.
The undercurrent of anti-Dutch sentiment started back then still has remnants in the language. See "going Dutch" "Dutch courage" "Dutch treat" "Dutch uncle".
I'm mostly teasing. It's more funny than serious.

I'm white so she wouldn't base my name on ethnicity, she'd probably go with Tr*nny Girlman
Her trans character in Hogwarts Legacy was Sirona Ryan so you’re not that far off.
-
she actually did that for the "trans" character in the Hogwarts game.
Sirona Ryan. I shit you not.
I'm not native English and I don't know enough gay lingo. What's wrong with Sirona Ryan? Need answers so I can laugh with you guys

"Sir" is in her first name, and her last name is also a boy name.

Thank you. That kicked out "My Shirona" whenever I read the name.

Tranny Girlman the abused and hated house elf, that everyone thinks is weird and creepy because (and this is always mentioned when Rolling writes about T.G.) HE wears a dress and makes everyone uncomfortable.
A little on the nose like Ron Weasly's dirt.

Hrrrm. But, going Dutch and Dutch courage don't have any specifically anti-Dutch connotation in modern usage and I've never heard of a Dutch treat or a Dutch uncle. At least you chaps aren't French!

Amen. About the only thing that unites Quebec with the rest of Canada is a mutual distaste for the French.
