Had a great day yesterday in Germany with the carnaval.
It confused me reading the post above, i did not had the idea that people are offended bij that Dutch tradition. With putting that in this topic, i was not meanig to offense people. Only thing i wan`t to say about it is that no people in Holland are offended by it. All the kids from different backgrounds celebrate "Sinterklaas" with conviction, Dutch kids but African kids in Holland to. So in Holland we dont see it as discrimination. That is why it haven`t come up to me we better not talk about this with people from abroad.
