I'm so glad I don't work retail anymore. Ruined all music for me. I've heard every Christmas song at least a thousand times and I can't listen to All Star by Smash Mouth Anymore.

Thank god in the Netherlands we first have to have the zwartepieten discussie.

Oh yeah heard about him a lot from a bunch of people that insist they are not racist.

As a kid you are told about Santa Clause and his little helper elfs.
Now that you are an adult you have learned that the elves are actually based on slaves and the color of their skin is als based on that (let's just imagine elves and slaves have the same skin color)
To you it's just an elf and you never associated them with history or slavery. If fact as a kid you are told they have this color from the chimney.
So in reality both are true, people that grew up with zwarte Piet are not necessarily racist, but the entire tradition is based on historical context and therefore racist.

Oh I am sure people growing up with it are generally fine, I mean people that are not Dutch who like to bring it up though.

My friends and I participate in Whammageddon every years. Last man standing who survives the season the longest without hearing that song wins bragging rights.
