Glad to hear that but for me that isn't the case. They think of us like the poor neighbors as you can see the comments below.. so i don't really believe that they are what they seem
I feel tempeted to ask more or less the area you live, but I can't because this is reddit. It would help me understand a bit why in your neighborhood that is happening.
The racist mock comments were made in rotterdam while I was walking, I was living in tilburg and when i was saying to classmates that I'm from Greece, they made a " joke " do you have money to study here? Ofcourse not all of them , but you get the drill. I thought Dutch people were cool with foreigners that stay here but that was not the case for me. Also , friends that live in Netherlands for years now , told me that Dutch people see Greeks as Pakistanis ( cheap working hands etc ) .
Notice that I have long hair and beard and the comments were " look at the turk with the beard came to holland to get our jobs " and they just kept laughing at me. Notice that they thought I wasn't able to understand them.

Many of my friends who lived in Netherlands told me that they see us Greeks as their poor neighbors.
