The author used a derogatory term for that group. In a sarcastic reference, Denkewel asked whether descendants of French Huguenots should then apply for compensation from the French state for the St. Bartholomew's Night and noted that such claims would otherwise continue for a long time. #ZwartePiet #Diversiteit #Cultuur (translated)
