The Black Pete debate, which
has taken a central place in the Netherlands for well over a year, continues to
smolder. The Hema chain stores have
decided to adapt their packaging for the national children’s holiday of
Sinterklaas of December 5. From next
year on, they will not include the figure of Black Pete on their packaging. Many social media users, however, are calling for a
boycott of the stores as they want to preserve this major Dutch tradition.
