Racism/ Zwarte piet.

[pink_dahlia]

This weekend Sinterklaas and his Pieten arrived in the Netherlands again. He's like santa claus, but with his own story and traditions.

His helpers, Zwarte pieten (or black pete/black peter) are a point of huge discussion every year since I started growing older.. I think it's quite obvious why.

Thanks for reading & replying! i'm glad that you, as a non dutch person came to this conclusion. I would hate it to be known as a country with a racist holiday or something like that :I
