Sorry Kim, there are enough problems in the USA already for you to worry about a dutch tradition that has nothing to do with racism.
We are frankly tired of people calling everything racism these days.

The 2 guys (1 immigrant from Ghana) mentioned in this old article founded "Kick Out Zwarte Piet". For years they tried to ignite tension in a country that used to be peaceful & happy by ruining a Dutch tradition that is for ALL kids no matter your color

For @KimKardashian to retweet an old article (2018) on the day that Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet arrive in the Netherlands results in nothing but putting oil on the fire to create more tension in the Netherlands. 🙄
Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet bring joy to ALL kids. Leave them alone!

I don't care if people dress up as an Indian, Zwarte Piet, blackface, whiteface or whatever to depict a character if your natural skintone does not match it.
I do care about the full-on hypocrisy + double standards.Worrying about an outfit takes attention away from true racism.

Apparently racism, discrimination and even slavery is present in African countries (like Ghana where this guy is from) I was told by many immigrants from Africa. But let's not focus on that, let's focus on one of the least racist countries in the World.🙄

If you think Zwarte Pete (or Black Pete) is racist, YOU have made it racist. Not one child sees skin color the way you do. They see a wonderful person bringing candy and presents. Only YOU made sure that by being upset by a the color of a CHARACTER real racism gets ignored.
I get upset by real racism and discrimination. People who are treated differently because of their skincolor. People not getting jobs or can't marry someone because of their roots + even getting killed!😱 This happens all over the World. It's awful, I hope more people speak up!
I want to add that I appreciate @KimKardashian's efforts together with @POTUS to get people out of prison👏
It appears that certain (African-American) Americans & families were hit harder than other families by past administrations.
Donald & Kim are bringing true change.

Today Dutch tv personality @robertjensen had a very good video about Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet (in Dutch). Must watch!
