NETHERLANDS-RACISM-DISCRIMINATION-CHRISTMAS-DEMONSTRATION

People gather during a demonstration against the tradition of 'Zwarte Piet' or "Black Pete" the black-faced companion of Sinterklaas or Sain Nicholas in Amsterdam, on November 16, 2014. The figure of Black Pete, the traditional black-faced companion of Saint Nicolas during the Sinterklaas or Saint Nicolas festival celebrated on the evening of December 5, has become the subject of much controversy in recent years as some people believe it to be a racist caricature. The character first appeared in its current form in an 1850 book by Jan Schenkman and is commonly depicted as a blackamoor from Spain.
