The Netherlands has a Blackface Tradition. Here's why.

PalTV Global investigates Dutch attitudes towards the controversial Christmas character ‘Black Pete’. Pete is a key figure in Dutch and Belgian celebrations of the Sinterklaas (St Nicholas) festival, as St Nic’s sidekick.

Our reporter travelled to Rotterdam to witness contemporary Black Pete celebrations and interviewed a Dutch history professor, as well as some Dutch students, about their views on this tradition.
