    Similar to what they do in Germany, except his helper’s name is Ruprecht. And thankfully, he’s not black.

    The other side of the argument said that Piet was black because he came through the chimney and that this was not blackface.

    Yeah, gonna call bullshit on that.

      Yes, it is bullshit. You do not get black curly hair, red lips and earrings by going through the chimney.
