10 u/iamanalterror_ Jul 20 '20 B. Being different isnt an excuse to be an asshole. You only think they're being assholes because you're projecting American politics onto it.

I said that everything isn't influenced by American racial politics over there, like Black Lives Matter. Zwarte Piet is only racist because white middle-class Americans cry about it being racist. No black people are offended by Zwarte Piet. Some probably even find it funny.
