Ouch! Not sure that was a fair comment.
The wave of immigrants that came to the Netherlands upon independance in the 70's were largely professionals and civil servants: punctual and hard-working people.

Their kids on the other hand have earned that reputation. That said, the kids grew up in the Netherlands - so your comment may be more of a reflection on how Dutch society has affected that group...
