There’s plenty more to unpack with the history and modern reception of the character of Zwarte Piet – seeing as that wasn’t the point of this video, I figured it was best to avoid the tangent.But interestingly enough, Dutch culture is currently reimagining the character to be less … well, less of a deliberately racist caricature. New interpretations include “Rainbow Pete” and “Sooty Pete”, and they have their own nuances and difficulties as well – but it’s worth the investigation if you’re curious, because it really is fascinating to see cultural innovation in real time! This is the stuff we talk about happening hundreds of years ago, but this one is happening now!!
Anyway Merry Crimbis and stuff, don’t get punched by a saint.
