Roetveeg Piet is a character associated with the Dutch celebration of Sinterklaas, which takes place in early December. Unlike the traditional Zwarte Piet, who is depicted with blackface, Roetveeg Piet has a soot-smudged face, representing a more modern and inclusive interpretation. This change aims to address concerns about racial stereotypes and promote a more positive image. Roetveeg Piet is often portrayed wearing colorful clothing and a festive hat, similar to the original character. The soot marks on his face suggest that he comes down chimneys to deliver gifts, maintaining the spirit of the holiday while being more culturally sensitive.
