Six to eight black men - part 3 of 3

as a dutch i need to comment this...sinterklaas and chrismas are to totaly different holidays.

and to be honest sinterklaas is a real person who lived around the year 280 he was a bishop and had servants not slaves. the thought behind all of this is that he gave away presents on his birthday instead of getting them. We don't think that there is anything rasistic about this

Perfect for the Christmas season. Thanks.

As an "ignorant American" I loved this video. I laughed until my sides hurt. I will share it with a few of my ignorant American friends whom I believe will enjoy it as much as I did. Many ignorant Americans have a sense of humor or a sense of the ridiculous and like comedy in many forms. Thanks for the laughs!

I've lived in NL for 2.5yrs. The white dutch hang on to this because they don't want to be told by others what they should and shouldn't do. It is a children's event, and children don't see racism, only fun. However there is a definite class distance between white dutch and 'others'. The 'international' Santa Claus has midgets as helpers, but that's not seen as wrong? Americans are SO over sensitive to this stuff, and have little idea of 'cultural diversity', there is a world outside the USA...

yes we all know that. and thanks for ruining one of my favorit comody rooutiens.

no problem, anything to help ignorant americans...

gez you never quit do you? the idea behind comody is laffing aat other peoples expence. the idea being that the ppl @ the tail end of the joak will take it in stride and not get offended. this usualy works varry well. you make fun of someone and someone makes fun of you. you both have a laugh at the other as well as at yourself. you need to lighten up.

Beep you're wrong phunky. They're not midgets - they're elfs - mythical creatures! And even if they were midgets - stretch your intellect a little - it's context, friend: Midgets, per se, were not sold as slaves for hundreds of years. Dutch, along with Portuguese, were the chief slave traders in Europe. And let's not start with their colonial past. But I know it's easy for all you Euros to hate America - takes the focus off your own problems. But wait - I'm just kidding. Ha Ha - lighten up!

and you are SOO PC calling "little people" MIDGETS !

As another (white) American living in Holland and raising a family there, I can only say,speak for yourself, TheHavoc. The fact that my kids already have this sambo idea of a black man saddens me. Piet was a 'knecht" for SInt - a servant. Google it. One step away from a slave. It has nothing to do with being American. It's a racist narrative anywhere. No, the Dutch are not overtly racist, but they cling to this story with defensiveness - look at the comments. Nostalgia for childhood, I suppose.
