BlackPeteMatters sparks online protest

Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders tweeted #BlackPeteMatters in support of the country's blackface tradition during Sinterklaas celebrations amid the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests. But people on social media quickly started a counter-trend #WildersDoesntMatter. And #BlackPeteMatters was then taken over by an unlikely group of protesters: K-pop fans. #ZwartePietMatters #WildersDoesntMatter #BlackLivesMatter
