Holland’s Dirty Little Secret. Oh Really? Comparing this tradition to Uganda’s traditional Homo Bashing (tradition used as an excuse for the persistence of intolerable behaviour) is completely ridiculous. This American film maker can find real problems at his own doorstep if he really wants to make a difference. Saint Nicolas is a Turkish holy man from Myra. His aids are probably also Turkish. The Spanish connection is only according to a related legend supposedly of Spanish origin. And Yes our Santa is white, because the good traditionally is portrayed as white. And yes the aids are dark skinned, because they are from southern Europe. This does not mean that if people are genuinely offended in any way also this tradition has to go. So far I’ve heard no Turkish protest.
