Offensive blackface greetings card

The company I work for, which is based in Holland, (I'm in the UK) celebrates St Nicholas' Day and sends staff a small thank you gift. This year's accompanying card has a picture of the 'Schwarz Piet' character - clearly a white bloke in full blackface. I know it's part of Dutch culture but I'm pretty offended.

WWYD?

Do you have a HR dept to raise it with?

If you aren't brave enough to face it head on, could you post anonymously in a staff suggestion box that you found it offensive?
