The controversial Dutch Christmas tradition of Black Pete has increasingly led to violent confrontations across the Netherlands.
It involves a white person dressing up as a Black helper for Santa Claus and is widely considered to be racist.
Protests against the tradition have been cancelled out of fear for people's safety.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen reports from Amsterdam, Netherlands.
