#Belgium: "Are the #Flemish racists?"

I CARE - - News - Internet Centre Anti Racism Europe: 23/11/2017- Nicolas Van der Linden interviewed Flemings and Francophones and did discover that Belgians are still struggling with a number of clich�s. Flemings do think that Walloons are lazier, while many Walloons believe that Flemings are racists and that there is a large Neo-Nazi community living in northern Belgium. Nicolas Van der Linden was eager to check whether these clich�s were also true. He came to the conclusion that Flemings are not racists. The ULB research shows that Flemings are more positive about members of the ethnic minorities than they are about Francophones! Flemish politicians may voice negative attitudes towards migrants in the media that go down well with the public at large, but it appears that many Francophones too have negative attitudes towards migrants though these don't have much of an impact when they come to vote.
