Different country, this is a Dutch tradition. As a Dutch man, this shit is racist as hell and they know it. Anyone who still adores black Pete or dons the blackface is a racist motherfucker.
Nothing prepared me for this when I moved from the US to NLD. My first year I was so shocked. One Sunny Bergman documentary later (Zwart Als Roet) and I was vindicated. Nuts that it still goes on. Ongeloofelijk (unbelievable)!
Kohl-pech-raben-schwarz as it goes in one german story about saint nicolas, not just black but kohl-pech-raben-schwarz. Black-black-black-black-black :3

6 to 8 did you say??
Why do they do that shit??
White Santa Claus = good and brings presents
Black Peter = evil and punishes the kids
Netherlands colonised africa.
It has always been racist, there’s just no direct proof for it.
These days after protests, they claim it’s grime, so they don’t paint their faces in black anymore but put some smut on it.
