it’s monday again and i have discovered a fabulous new radio show. it is called ‘the state we’re in’ , comes from the netherlands and basically interviews people directly related to human right issues. it’s every week, monday at 1am and everytime i listen to it, i’m like OMG HAVE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS.
(
this week includes a false guru, blackface and persian poetry )

Also, a little girl came up to him and pointed to him and called him zwarte piet. followed by "Why are you ruining Christmas?"
I don't know whether to laugh or cry? But it's so interesting to see and hear about the differing cultural reactions to issues like this.

and yes, that's what i thought about the zwarte piet too! it's so crazy that people just go along with it. david sedaris wrote a little essay about christmas traditions in different cultures, and here is a recording of it. super interesting.
