For centuries, Dutch adults and children have dressed up as "black Petes," the black helpers of Sinterklaas, as part of a pre-Christmas tradition.

“I think they shouldn’t paint their faces. You should get proper black people to do it,” Mel B tells Leeuw. “I don’t think that’s very good.”
The host tries to justify it saying it's a cultural tradition but Mel B is not having it, and tells him to "change it" because "this is the '90s".
Geri Halliwell doubles down: “Update your culture!”
