I’m Dutch.
Not Pennsylvania Dutch or Holland, Michigan Dutch, but real Dutch.
Which means my home country is The Netherlands. Yet a lot of people call it Holland, which is actually wrong.
For all of you who always wanted to know the difference between Holland and The Netherlands, who have wondered why its inhabitants are called the Dutch instead of Netherlanders (though in Dutch we are called Nederlanders!) and who are curious why ‘our’ national color is orange, here’s a video that explains it all.
More or less.
