The Dutch blackface debate




The Europeans show

Summary: <p>We make an appearance in the new BBC documentary series Travels in Euroland, hosting a debate about the ever-controversial Dutch blackface tradition that is Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). This week: what happened when we sat down with the warring sides to debate history, racism and what it means to be Dutch. Also this week: Salvini, sardines, and sockets of the annoying Apple variety.</p> <p>Part 1 of Travels of Euroland is available to watch <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000dl8q"><u>here</u></a> if you’re in the UK. </p> <p>Enjoyed the show?
