Dutch Companions

How do people within a subculture relate to outsiders? "The Negro may come from the jungle, but the jungle never comes from the Negro." It is one of the statements that the Dutch happy few on Curaçao do not turn a blind eye to. The Antillean often hates the large group that belongs to the Dutch elite. Their arrogance, their own habits that they have without realizing it, it is often a thorn in the side for the Antillean. The Dutch, also called Makambas, are said to ignore the rules and have no respect for them. While some Dutch people believe that they are being discriminated against by the Antilleans.
