Black Pete in Holland is exactly the same. A 'centuries old' tradition started in 1850.

I think you mean "Zwarte Piet".....as usual you are somewhat selective when producing supporting "facts"

"In medieval iconography, Saint Nicholas is sometimes presented as taming a chained devil, who may or may not be black. Although no hint of a devil, servant, or any other human or human-like fixed companion to the Saint is found in visual and textual sources from the Netherlands from the 16th until the 19th century,[12] Zwarte Piet and his equivalents in Germanic Europe, according to a long-standing theory,[13] originally represented such an enslaved devil, forced to assist his captor. This chained and fire-scorched devil may have re-emerged as a black human in the early 19th-century Netherlands"

You had to look him up. I already knew about him.

Note the marked bits in your 'killer riposte' and the disturbing realisation you seem to equate 'devil' with 'black human'.

You tend to harvest support that fits your odd view of life from various locations on the internet. Piet goes back a long time👍

let me guess you hate references to the Black Country and baba black sheep is a real no go area? You really should focus on more important things than Morris Dancing and Zwarte Piet

Don't forget you have been to Karachi and are also an expert on Pakistan.

I had a Swiss Roll this afternoon and  a Viennese Cardinal Slice afterwards. You can now ask me anything about  the Helvetic Republic. and the Battle Of Austerlitz because that qualifies as the resident expert on Switzerland and The  Austrian Empire.
Hey it worked that way for you.

I dread the upcoming 'some of my best friends are black' sorry I mean  sommige van mijn beste vrienden zijn zwart
