In the Netherlands, a character known as Zwarte Piet has traditionally appeared alongside Sinterklaus — Dutch Santa Claus — as a “helper.”  He shows up at parades and Christmas parties — in Blackface. Activists like Jerry Afriyie say the character normalizes and promotes racism in the country. His anti-racism organization is now ending its 15-year campaign to “Kick Out Zwarte Piet.” Joining the show from Amsterdam, Afriyie explains the decision.
