Several netizens got into a debate about race. Others were simply appalled to see the young woman tormented by the three bullies. A few reactions to the incident read:

It remains unclear as to whether any action has been taken against the women who are alleged to be migrants. At the time of writing this article, no local Netherlands news outlet had publicized the matter.

Recently, people of color took to the streets of Amsterdam to rally against racism and discrimination. The protest was organized by the March 21 Committee. Several people of different ethnic backgrounds chanted slogans against racism, Islamophobia, and discrimination. Not many cases of prejudicial behavior in the Netherlands make it to the news. The country has also been voted as one of the least racist countries in Europe by several news outlets.

It remains unclear as to whether the aforementioned incident was racially motivated. Netizens now await more information in regard to the matter.
