[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious what people think here of black pete, the St Nick companion in the Netherlands. It's interesting to me that a historically white country so shamelessly uses a black face character, but not sure if American morals necessary translate to other countries directly. [img]http://sprakeloosverhalen.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/piet-1.jpg[/img][/quote] Of course it's racist! This history about Black Pete has recently gain more attention within the last few years. There have been protests and boycotts about the usage of Black Pete in the Netherlands. However, this racist tradition still lives on. Some Dutch people are very adamant about not letting go of their usage of Black Pete. Even the children stories associated with Black Pete are racist. However, there are so many other issues with racism amongst the Dutch that are way more disturbing than Black Pete. [/quote]
