He is a white, middle-aged man, an exemplary husband and a father of a large family. His name is Constant Kusters. Currently, he is one of the most important Dutch politicians. His party, known for strong right-wing views, is gaining more and more support following the path which is becoming increasingly more popular among other European countries. Instead of a burden, the disgraceful colonial past becomes a source of pride and a testimony to the country’s past glory. This is how the politician raises his children, in which he is not alone, while assimilated immigrants living in the country for generations have been watching all this with growing concern.
