#VereneShepherd, I have no Idea where you got your professor degree from, Im starting to asume you just bought it somewhere. It is clear you have absolutely NO understanding of Dutch traditions or Holland in general. Zwarte Piet is not a racial thing, hes black from going up and down the chimney, bringing presents to children. There is further NO racial meaning in the whole thing. But on another notice, Shouldnt you and the rest on the #UnitedNations bother themselves more about gay rights in #Russia, or the massacre in #Syria. I dont see the #UN do much there.. #Greenpeace is detained in #Russia, on unrealistic reasons. Girls in Africa get their #Clitoris cut off with a rusty dull knife Has the UN solved all this already ?????? NO.... For these kind of realistic threaths the #UN is just sitting on their hands and doing nothing... Also your comparance of Sinterklaas and Santa Clause does not match, Because Santa Clause was introduced to the USA by the Dutch. This has also been completely misunderstood in how it was meant. If you want to learn about Santa Clause, you should visit Finland around Christmas. You would maybe learn something from it. Santa does not live on the #NorthPole to begin with. An other misunderstanding ... Maybe your next mission should be questioning the #animalrights for the raindeer of #SantaClause. Is it realistic these animals have to carry all the presents for the children of the #USA ???? Think of all the weight of the packages... And how about all the #dwarfs slaving over making and wrapping all the presents for Santa ?? Isnt this #Slavery ??????? As you see YOU and the whole UN are just a powerless, farce... Please go solve the real problems. Free the people of Syria Do some real action for #GayRights in Russia. Make sure girls dont get their clitoris cut off by a rusty knife.. When you have solved all the real issues, Issues where women, children and men get killed, raped, mutilated or otherwise harmed.... Then please come back, until then. Stop telling a nation to cancel a childrens event... Ive expereinced Sinterklaas now 45 Years, and in these 45 year I have NEVER made any relation to Zwarte Piet and a racial issue. And if you immigrate to Holland, you accept the rules and traditions... If not.. PLease go back to where you came from, you only came for the money anyway. When a European woman goes to #Qatar they have to wear a scarf to cover up too, Or are you going to raise this issue next, so women dont have to cover up . As you see, you have much more important things to worry about the Dutch and their traditions.
