What makes Dutch people so stubborn? I wondered this countless times, with me being Dutch and all. I know some Dutch people who are pretty stubborn. They get angry and frustrated pretty easily over little things. They usually won’t budge in inch on something they think is the right way. People have said that I’m the same way. I’m 1/4th Dutch, and I sometimes think that I am the same way. I think it gets worse as people get older though. I think it has something to do with heredity. The only stubborn people that I know are Dutch. The only Dutch people I know are stubborn. I think they go hand in hand. I made up a funny phrase about Dutch. I said once that they are always neutral, because if they got involved in a war that they thought was the right thing to do, they would never know when to retreat. It’s just a Dutch way of life.
