From the Glasgow Slavery Museum site: "The Dutch West India Company (founded in 1621) was involved in what is known as the triangular trade route: the Dutch sailed out from their homeland in ships packed with goods such as textiles, ammunition, gunpowder, and alcohol to trade in Africa. There, they exchanged these goods for human beings, who were then transported to South America and exchanged for goods such as gold, ivory, sugar, coffee and cacao. These goods were then taken back to the Netherlands and sold at great profit. It is estimated that during the Dutch 200-year involvement in slavery, around 550,000 - 600,000 African people were transported at the hands of the Dutch.it’s estimated that around 13% died from the inhumane conditions they were forced to endure at sea. In plantations run by White Europeans, these ‘survivors’ processed the raw materials such as sugar cane and coffee, which were then transported back by the Dutch for sale across the world. African enslaved people lived on average until the age of 23."

DW's reporting on woke subjects is far from being objective. For example, the journalist is asked, what do Dutch people think about this, and she says sth like:"I've been asking people, and everyone says the government should do more!" First of all, there are 19 mio Dutch citizens, so what, did you ask them all or have you made a survey? Or have you simply been asking people who attended this event? I have a feeling it's the latter. I honestly don't think it's bad to apologise, but the repeated quote "This is only the beginning" and mentioned reparations worry me.
