In Amsterdam, you can finally be your unique self. But are you really that special? The city seems to consist mainly of, at most, four different Amsterdam students. Today: the antiracist.

Cinemabar Kriterion, Queerdisco de Trut, spoken word nights at Mezrab, UvA occupations.
Says:
- ‘My ISW lecturer Postcolonial Dialogues talks, like, so privileged. Girl, I really detest that sort of, like, imperialist culture of the West. How can you, like, take it into your head to take away what, like, doesn’t belong to you, destroy, like, all the culture there, even chase people away from your, like, occupation zone and then, like, justify that violence afterwards too?’
- ‘Café Skek is really radically inclusive. And if you think otherwise, you really don’t need to come here!’
- ‘I love extremely alternative music. I think Radiohead is such an underrated indie band.’
- ‘He’s so cute. He wears nail polish and can totally talk about his feelings and stuff. He’s probably going to make his own short film next year about his heavy time as a poet, philosophy student and bass player all at the same time.’
- ‘Amsterdam è così razzista, questa non è più la mia città!’
