celebrations:

FRAMING (1)
The most common ways to frame the discussion are (in order of times
mentioned):
• Normal people discussing with normal people – this viewpoint is most popular among those
with a neutral, negative or very negative attitude towards the current representation of Black
Pete
• Normal people discussing with oversensitive people – this viewpoint is most popular among
those with a positive or very positive attitude towards the current representation of Black
Pete
• Traditional people discussing with normal people - this viewpoint is most popular among
those with a neutral or negative attitude towards the current representation of Black Pete
• Traditional people discussing with oversensitive people - this viewpoint is most popular
among those with a very positive attitude towards the current representation of Black Pete
• Traditional people discussing with modern people - this viewpoint is most popular among
those with a negative attitude towards the current representation of Black Pete
FRAMING (2)
A far less common to frame the discussion is
that normal people discuss with modern
people – a viewpoint most popular among
those with a very negative attitude towards
the current representation of Black Pete.
FRAMING (SOURCE)
INTERPRETATION (1)
• The people pro see themselves as normal people or as traditional
people
• Those against see those pro as normal people or as traditional
people
The difference seems to lie in how traditions are valued.
• The people against see themselves as normal people or modern
people
• Those pro see those against as normal people or as oversensitive
people
INTERPRETATION (2)
The publicly most audible analysis by those with a very negative
attitude towards the current representation of Black Pete is that
this topic concerns racism. This resonates highly in the comments
BUT hardly translates into dubbing people who support the current
representation of Black Pete as racists (a mere 4.6% does so).
This seems to implicate that while racism is seen as a cause of the
current representation of Black Pete very few see conscious racism.
Rather they see ignorance – as can also be derived from the
comments – ignorance stemming from tradition.
