NETHERLANDS-BLACK PETE
Demonstrators hold signs reading "Black Pete is Rascism" and "Free Black Pete" during a demonstration against Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) in Amsterdam, on November 16, 2013. Zwarte Piet is the companion of Saint Nicolas during a yearly feast celebrated on the evening of 5 December. It was announced in October 2013 that the United Nations, under the authority of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, were to investigate whether Zwarte Piet is a racist stereotype.
