If Sinterklaas is Santa, what is Zwarte Piet supposed to do? I can't help but think what would happen if I was to paint myself black and walk around here. I would get a major ass kicking! ;-)

Sinterklaas isn't Santa... but both are based on the same historical person I guess.
Those 'Zware Pieten' is something typical Dutch. I think it has to do with our colonial history. The black person is the assistant of Sinterklaas. It's a bit racist from a certain point of view, although the little kids won’t see it like that anyway.
Almost forgot to say but... great video guys! :D
