WRONG!

The Dutch are the ones who first settled Manhattan and many other Dutch came there, even after it was a Brit colony. If you look at the names of early families who lived and stayed there, or moved upstate N.Y. or later moved to other sates/territories, you'll find a lot of names that at Dutch!

There's a once very famous American author, Hendrik Van Loon, who had that kind of name, for example. And his family came here DIRECTLY from Holland!

You’d need to scope your statement, otherwise you will be saying stupid things like you have said before.

Why should some random person from Holland show up in a troublemaker situation like this.

True...Bronx and Yonkers are from Dutch settlers...(both were from Dutch family, but they got Americanized). Dutch settled in Hartford, too...
