No more Black Pete No more Black Pete: People wearing T-shirts reading "World Against Racism, No More Black Pete" attend the ruling over a complaint that the city of Amsterdam had no right to grant permission for a parade with Black Pete because he is a negative stereotype of black people, at the highest Dutch administrative in The Hague, Netherlands, on Wednesday. The court has waded into the increasingly acrimonious national debate around Black Pete, the black-faced sidekick to the Dutch equivalent of Santa Claus, and whether or not the city of Amsterdam was right to grant a permit for parade with Black Petes.
