It's that time of the years again, it's Sinterklaas!
Sinterklaas is a very old traditional holiday of the Netherlands and has been getting more international media attention due to racism.
Who is Sinterklaas? What do they celebrate in The Netherlands? And is the Sinterklaas tradition racist? Coming from the Netherlands and being part of a black family, Wouter was never opposed to the tradition. It was only when he showed Evan's American family the Zwart Pieten, that he discovered something was mist definitely wrong and off.
In today's podcast Evan and Wouter are discussing all things Sinterklaas and are diving deeper into the original tradition. But not only do they discuss the past. What does Sinterklaas mean in 2020 and how should the tradition evolve? They are debating from two different perspectives, which makes this podcast worth your while!
Happy Sinterklaas to you all and enjoy our discussion!
