Brabo Negro, the Black Vlogger, Acting White

YouTube star Steven Brunswijk looks at typical Dutch customs and habits. With his two mates, Dennis and Djordjhy, who keep him from Dutchifying too much, he does things the Surinamese never do: taking his collapsible caravan to France, going to a ‘pirates’ party and eating traditional Dutch food. Steven is up for anything, gives it to you straight and plays with prejudices, all with a sense of humour and his tongue firmly in cheek. Steven was born in Surinam and raised in rural Brabant. The local dialect comes as easily to him as Surinamese. As Brabo Negro he gives his unvarnished opinion on anything and everything in his popular vlogs on YouTube. Steven is not politically correct. He is direct, quick-witted and speaks plainly. It regularly leads to criticism from both the white and the black community. Steven grew up in a real Surinamese family in a typical working-class neighbourhood. Even though he has been raised in the Netherlands, it is out of the question that Steven will ever go camping or eat kale hash. But in Brabo Negro, the Black Vlogger, Acting White he leaves his comfort zone, confronts things head-on and immerses himself in all things Dutch.
