anti-Dutch
Opposing the Dutch
Anti-Dutch describes hostility, prejudice, or opposition toward the Netherlands, its people, or Dutch culture.
The term appears in historical contexts—particularly regarding colonial rivalries and trade wars between England and the Dutch Republic—and in modern discussions of discrimination: anti-Dutch sentiment flared during the trade disputes.
