In the Netherlands they recently had a BBQ/smoker (very similar to a Green Egg) called The Black Bastard.

They've renamed it now to "The Bastard" but frankly the fact anyone ever thought it was OK to call it that in the first place says much about the challenges of the Netherlands.

Don´t forget Zwarte Piet: https://vimeo.com/243014355

I know somebody who owns a Black Bastard.

When you Google Zwarte Piet the first Dutch video that comes up is "Zwarte Piet: Racist or not?"...

At one point we were thinking about buying one and removing the logos but decided against a green egg style BBQ.

For balance, I know some lovely Dutch people and they're not racist.

Something just occurred to me. The name of the BBQ had not struck me as racist before you mentioned it. Feck, I must be a bigot then.
