(L-R) Dutch right wing PVV State members Ton van Kesteren, Matthijs Jansen and Dennis Ram attend a meeting in the Province House in Groningen, The Netherlands, November 5, 2014, dressed as “Zwarte Piet” (Black Pete) to make a statement that according to them “Zwarte Piet” should not change his appearance in the city of Groningen during the Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas) festival. The traditional figure Zwarte Piet is the companion of Saint Nicolas during a yearly feast celebrated on the evening of 05 December, and has become the subject of much controversy in recent years as some people think it is racist.
