In an interview with de Volkskrant , a series about what role ethnicity plays in a life in the Netherlands, says Simons that she often lives in at least two worlds.
” At home with your family and friends. And besides, in the workplace and on the streets. In those worlds, everything is different. That’s the reality when you are black and live in a white country. I do not complain about it, it’s what you does with this data. “
” When I came to the big people with RTL television, I ran into some things, “says Simons. “The editors are white, they think white and create a white product. And it will remain so. How frightened some Dutch are, that situation will not change. I went along in those programs because I wanted to.”
From Surinamese Simons was once again it complains that a bounty be. “I got out of the Surinamese flock, I broke a covenant by doing things that were different I think sometimes people underestimate the power of a non-white woman on television things -. And then in a natural way, which is not is about ‘black’ subjects. It should be no exception, but a normal part in a mass product. “
Simons had a good time at RTL. “I love a show stage and two million viewers. That’s what I did at RTL. It was fine, it was my job, so it felt. I can at the public broadcaster now do what I want. Went RTL a new wind blowing. I mean to not mean that I no longer work because I have a color. It is the preference of the program director. You are in the fashion and then you weather is not in fashion. “
