Sinterklaas in Winschoten is startled by an incident. An English speaking American man with a dark skin is aggressive against three Black Petes. Police say it has to do with the discussion about the racist content of Zwarte Piet. The man sees from his home, the Dutch made-up dark and desolate. He confronts the Black Petes street and asks if it is normal in order to offend dark fellows. Then he makes a cutting motion with his hand along its neck and to be in danger of stabbing them in the two Black Peters. They do report threats.
