zwart Piet is Santa's little helper - and he is traditionally black.

they have different traditions and taboos - I refused to change into overalls in front of girls and they fell about laughing.

The origins of the modern version of Zwart Piet only go back to 1850 or so but the older versions spring from stories of Odin.

Anyone living in or relocating to a Country with such traditions (and there are others) should either ignore or join in.

I'd wager that there are not many black people protesting over this, the majority will be from the great unwashed liberal lefties and mainly female, for some strange reason.
