(Not) UN on Sinterklaas: Yep, we are guilty.

I thought Sinterklaas was a Turk. So, Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet are actually a Turkish boss with a white employee who is forced to climb up and down chimneys. I'd say Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet are a good example of what succesful integration of muslim immigrants could accomplish: the muslim becomes boss of a succesful and lucrative business and employs whites to do the dirty chimney climbing work.

Sinterklaas is the example of the perfectly integrated and succesful muslim (he became a Catholic Bishop and runs his own business and he's famous!).

while from modern day turkey, turkey didnt exist and the turks hadnt migrated there, islam hadnt stretched there either. he was a greek most like.

Let me remind you that Turkey wasn't conquered by the Turks at the time. At least do it good ;)

So, he was Greek. Even better. A perfect example that not all Greeks are lazy and can become succesful entrepeneurs.

As such, he is a symbol in the fight against generalisation and stereotyping of our Greek friends.
