Holland was a colonial power - are you actually claiming Black Peter is all Dutch culture and has absolutely nothing to do with black servitude ???.

I guess they are claiming that Black Peter has nothing to do with minstrel shows, that are the reason why blackface is problematic in the USA (and it shouldn't really be anywhere else, in my opinion).

You have the same character in Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and eastern France, it's just part of a cross-european culture.
