okay, i understood it was the netherlands, which I've been to by the way, and I saw more black folks in ten minutes than i saw in that clip. I've also traveled to: england, scotland, ireland, spain, portugal, france, switzerland, italy, Mexico, canada and Egypt. All of these places have their own versions of diversity. My concern is that they now have a black son, which they've chosen to embrace (that's great), so now comes some responsibility.
europe in general is quite diverse, people have just chosen to ignore it. the netherlands have some places which have up to a third of the population belonging to an ethnic minority (which is how they describe them), primarily arab, muslim, african. From what I could find on the web, there are at least 320,000 turks, 273,000 moroccans, and over 500000 from other parts of africa.
As a group tend to bond together in larger cities, and maybe these folks with their sons have chosen to live in a smaller town. they now have the responsibility to give this kid the chance to see others that look like him.
