"...Black Pete, a controversial black-faced sidekick to the local St Nicholas."Remember, the definition of "controversial is something that liberals disapprove of. In the history of Black Pete in the prior decades (centuries?), there has never been a problem about Black Pete. And today he's call 'controversial'. BS. Protestors, get a life.
Just like all the hullabaloo about the Washington Redskins over here. Some loser with no life stumbled on a stupid cause for their raison d'etre and all the other losers fell in line.
