Why does the Dutch workforce look like a cappuccino?

The Netherlands has impressive DEI laws on paper, but the loopholes tell a different story. Discrimination hides behind "cultural fit," unnecessary Dutch language requirements, and zero accountability.

In reality, the Dutch workforce looks like a cappuccino - rich, brown tones at the bottom, white foam at the top. Diversity thrives in service jobs but disappears at the top of the corporate ladder. All due to cultural protection.

The real question is when does cultural protection become exclusion? When does national pride turn into structural discrimination?
