There is literally NOTHING racist about Black Pete. Santa Claus was actually inspired by our Sinterklaas tradition. The story goes that Black Pete comes down the chimney, which is why he's black. It has nothing to do with blackface.
If you still think I am talking rubish, please tell (black) people on Curacao
(The black petes on the picture are actual brown/black-skinned people who paint there own faces black)
