Another reaction to Zwarte Piet: A colleague from school.

The other day I was at an academic reception and I was telling a(n American) philosophy ph.d. grad student who I know all my various recent tampon stories I heard, and then I started telling him about Zwarte Piet.

When I was done, he was like, "You know, that makes me so glad, because Europeans always act like Americans don't know anything, which always pisses me off. But hey, at least when it comes to race, we know we have a problem."
