Translation of "Flemings" into Dutch

Having noticed that Brother Poelmans was of Flemish descent, the people nicknamed him “the little Fleming.”

Toen de mensen hadden ontdekt dat broeder Poelmans van Vlaamse afkomst was, gaven zij hem de bijnaam „de kleine Vlaming”.

This will of the Flemings, however, is very democratic and legitimate.

Maar die wil van de Vlamingen, collega's, is nochtans zeer democratisch en legitiem.
