Keep in mind that comp for Dutch software developers is probably an order of magnitude lower than what you can get in the US.
Out of curiosity, did you live in other countries as well? I have the impression that in NL there certainly is a certain level of racism, but it's less systemic/endemic/widespread than in other countries (including parts of the US).
It's an opinion based on very limited data and personal observation, so take it with a grain of salt.
