It's the struggle of globalization.

In the US, we have a history fraught with debasing a particular group(s) of people - as do other countries with similar pasts. If we didn't have the internet, it wouldn't phase people in other countries. But now we have the interwebz which means that me, in my American moral outrage, can pass judgment on you. You didn't mean the same thing as what I have always believed it to mean, but I'm demanding that you change your cultural taboos to match mine.

As an American, I can never be comfortable with black-face. The truth is, there is a visceral reaction to it inside of me. However, people have got to learn to be less offended when living in the global community. We should dialogue about this stuff instead of screaming "EVIL!" at people :P

http://dingdingren.blogspot.com/2010/11/arrival-of-sinterklaas.html An American did and came to the conclusion that, while they couldn't get over their cultural aversion to Zwarte Piet and the tradition pretty invariably came from mimicking black Africans, it has no racist connotation to the Dutch.

TBQH, your spamming of this thread to publicise your community is getting tiresome.
