Wouldn't that rather be discrimination than racism? Racism is the belief that one race is superior/inferior to another. And there should be no problem for you in Holland. This is a strange question.

You should be hired based your skills on the job you will be performing. But depending on the job, your body weight can play a role. Generally, an overweight person is less dynamic physically, and if you are planing to get a job with physical duties, they can reasonably expect you to be fit. Also, the hiring process entails a process of getting the interviewers to "like you" and subconsciously a fat person has less chances. Also, foreigns usually have a weaker standing when looking for jobs, so my advice is: start a diet.

Well congratulations on picking the Netherlands. It is true that many people are slim here, but at the same time, colour, creed, weight etc are not discriminated in the same way as other countries do Just show your personality and make sure you have the experience and qualifications to justify any applications you make, and don't worry. Any employer worth his salt will employ on that basis and not what dress size you are.
