The Dutch are loved pretty universally though.
I would say I'm biased, but the Netherlands has _always_ been my favourite mainland European country.
The people are almost always wonderful, the country is so much better organised than England (and, while I am very misanthropic at times, I do love my country, it's a very good place to live most of the time, I certainly couldn't imagine myself living in America, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland for example, about the only place I'd consider moving in the English speaking world is Canada).
Honestly my only complaint is probably that drugs, smoking and beer are a bit too accepted there.
It's definitely by far the best European country culture wise.
To clarify a little, the undertones in society that are mentioned in the article are present in more or less every country.
Sensationalism makes them seem larger than they are, but when you really look at it, they're just screaming as loud as they can, nothing more.
On my visits to the Netherlands I've normally been in the company of 'immigrants' (most notably a lovely egyptian lady who's my gf's best friend and room mate), but to me, and everyone I've met there, she's Dutch.
I'm seen as a tourist I suppose, and it probably helps that I'm white, but I feel very welcome there too.
Seriously, overall, most Dutch people are amazing and wonderful.
