Wow I didn't know that (though Suriname used to be part of the Netherlands till 1975). What I knew about the Suriname population was that it consisted mostly out of the offspring of slaves brought from Africa by the Dutch, offspring of slaves brought from India (by the Dutch, we were real good at it, though that is NOT something to be proud off), Native people ("Indians") and Chinese people (who came as merchants), as well as offspring of Dutch people. But this is interesting indeed.
