A Moroccan-Dutch man sends an email to a real estate agent Utrecht to do an internship for his legal business services course. He quickly receives an incorrectly sent internal mail containing the sentence “his name is not easy“. He feels discriminated against and sends an angry response. The broker says he misunderstands and invites him to an interview. They still reject him because they have no place for a long-term internship. They do offer the student an apology and an internship, but it is of no use to him. The brokerage says it was not meant to be racist but that it was a bad joke and bad humor. The student serves one discrimination complaint in.
