I walked into Den Haag Centraal Station and it was full of people in blackface dressed as Zwarte Piet, including a full marching band and other folks passing out the traditional Sinter Klaus treats.
I was shocked by seeing so many people in blackface. So I started taking pictures of it. And every other instance of Zwarte Piet I can find. The Netherlands does not have the same racist history as the US, bu the similarity of Zwarte Piet to minstrel iconography cannot be a coincidence. I don't know what to think. so I take pictures.
