Aren't they all dressed up as Sinterklaas "moorish helper" or some s***? Seems racist to me but maybe im missing something
Idk in America black face was literally invented to mock black people this one seems to be a byproduct of folklore
I just googled this s*** and it honestly doesn’t seem to be rooted in racism Unlike in America
Lmao it most definitely is
Literally a depiction of slavery
We need to have a more nuanced conversation about the intentions around blackface but not on here.

it says here on wiki
"Over the years many stories have been added, and Zwarte Piet has developed from a rather unintelligent helper into a valuable assistant to the absent-minded saint. "
Seems subtly racist
Yall sounding like dutch crackers in here wtf
I'm defending the harmless examples like Drake and Trudeau
Nobody in the real world actually believes they had racist intentions just stupid decisions on their part
I went to amsterdam by myself once. Them niggas don't even make eye contact with you. Awkward af. Thought it was the culture though, wonder if its like that if I'm white tho 🤔

Used to have an accent too
It's more than subtle lol
When my mom first came here from Ethiopia she would be uncomfortable even walking outside around the time of the holiday
but you're still disregarding a very real issue by just "lot of us are just minding our busines."
Like you're being mad disingenuous if you say Italians don't have a spotty track record especially when it comes to black people.
I wasn't even born or grew up in NYC and living here for the last....maybe 4 years (including working at an Italian restaurant for a good portion of it), I've seen it first hand bruh lol.
Bruh Staten Island is looked at as one of the most racist parts of NYC...guess what huge community lives over there
nah nah ur right tho
but its not nice to get dragged minding ur own business
but yeah i literally agreed with u a bunch of italians are racist

Ofcourse not they're all thinking "what are you doing here N***Er"
Shes wilding for even going out there honestly f*** is a Amsterdam?
probably for a show. Europe's a big market bruh.
I work with an Italian dude. He tries to act black and I heard him slip in nigga one time.
I'm like dude why are you trying to act black? Y'all got the Sopranos
This got me crying man why do they that. I think it just goes to show powerful and influential black people and our culture is. World wouldn't be s*** without niggas and white people know that
Goddamn Irish were considered POC mot that long ago which is honestly wild
What pisses me off is that they still do like Rory stfu sometimes

It doesn't need to be rooted in racism for it to be racist/insensitive
