I would be surprised if Black Pete disappears from the Netherlands - TopicsExpress



          

I would be surprised if Black Pete disappears from the Netherlands Christmas tradition, he has nothing to do with race or slavery, its like the egits who complain about the Mummers and similar black faced Morris dancers in the UK, whose tradition goes back hundreds of years before Empire and are not racist. The term is losing its potency, real racism is nasty and vindictive, damaging too. A black faced assistant to Sinterklass or Mummers in the Morris are just traditions with a long history.
