Current Events > Nazis in Netherlands are violently attacking people over Christmas

(+) Yeah! (+)

In Dutch tradition, Sinterklaas has a helper named Zwarte Piet, or Black Pete, who usually appears as a blackface character with large gold earrings and exaggerated lips.

In the weeks leading up to the saints name day, cities and towns host parades featuring hundreds of white people dressed as Piet. Stores stock up with Zwarte Piet costumes, merchandise, and baked goods while adults visit childrens homes and schools dressed as Sinterklaas and Piet.

The growing number of Netherlanders who are protesting the tradition of St. Nicholas notorious assistant, however, have faced increasing pushback. This year, white supremacists raised Nazi salutes at the Sinterklass parade in Hoorn and flew neo-Nazi flags at the one in Zaandijk. In Eindhoven, an estimated 250 white extremists chanted racist slogans and threw eggs and beer cans at people peacefully protesting the parade.
