@jyoty: “It’s that time of the year again where I have to explain to all my non-Dutch friends what this blackface tradition called Bla ck Pete is all about.
Well - it’s racism at its finest. We’ll stop saying it’s racism when pro-Black Pete supporters stop referring to the black Dutch football players as a team of Black Petes, stop making references to unchaining slaves and STOP SAYING ITS THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR TRADITION.
Zwarte Piet Is Racisme. Climbing down the chimney doesn’t curl your hair, makes your lips red and big nor does it give you gold hoops.
