...did you just call me Dutch?
That's about the worst faux pas you can make with the Flemish, besides generalizing them as "Belgian" and assuming they all speak French.
I'm not Dutch dammit

Gah... I admit it, I always confuse who's Dutch and who's Flemish, I'm as bad as those that are confused whether I'm English or Irish... I've turned into my worst nightmare! * grabs knife *

Its a bad habit I got from hanging around with a nationalistic (but vegetarian) Dutch friend I have who believes Belgium should just be split between France and The Netherlands anyway...
It must be the second worst faux pas though, I would presume anyone would hate being called French twenty times more then Dutch.
