Ruud Koopmans

Ruud Koopmans is a Dutch migration researcher and professor at Humboldt University in Berlin, known for his controversial views on the cultural protections of majority populations in Europe. He argues that majority cultures face significant pressure from globalization and migration, and that they deserve legal protection for their cultural practices and identities, paralleling the rights often afforded to minority groups. His perspectives challenge the prevailing academic discourse that typically views majority groups as inherently privileged and less in need of protection.
