Holy crap.

I only know of the West Michigan Dutch, who are generally pretty racist. There was an issue in Holland, Michigan, several years ago where the school district was looking for a superintendent, and they were so pleased to get a resume from a super way qualified person with a doctorate. They were excited and had an open meeting scheduled to interview him as they were so happy to have such a good candidate. But he was African American. No one asked any questions, and they took a vote to not hire him, and that was the end of that.
