So the exact same thing I said.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

You mean like how Europeans portray Jesus as looking European?

The vast majority of people in America trace their immediate ancestry back to Europe, even today so... culturally they are linked.


How does the fact that many Americans are white suddenly mean that we are culturally European?

No no, I think we should accept this fact. Americans are culturally European. Europeans are culturally Africans.

See, it all works out. *nods*

Somehow, Madonna and Child, which gets depicted Chinese:

Japanese:

Black:

And Mexican:

is less artistically and culturally important than fucking Santa Claus.

So the Sistine Madonna is somehow less of an 'artistic and cultural' gem than fucking Santa Claus.

Michelangelo's Pieta is nothing compared to God damn fucking Santa Claus.

Leonardo da Vinci, El Greco, Caravaggio, Reuben, and most of Western Art, are dust to the greatness that is fucking Santa Claus.

We must not let other group misappropriate and destroy the root of Santa. I propose a Saladin-Odin-Alexander cross, just to celebrate his Middle Eastern, Nordic, and Greek roots. Though Alexander is Macedonian isn't he...?

And he can be called Darkie Giftgiver, just so people understand he's not an appropriation of White Santa. *nod*

Well, only if he is depicted as Kali, with the bloody head of Santa Claus held in one arm, and a sword in the other.

he should have green fur, eye stalks, ride on an anti-gravity platform, and stop abusing elves and rain-deer.

why "should" 'he" even HAVE a physical appearance at all?

what is with the rediculous human ego, that spirit things should have to look human, or again even have physical aspects?

This is stupid.

Santa is traditionally a white guy for the majority of people who celebrate Christmas. Although he is magical, last time I checked he wasn't a human-chameleon hybrid though, so having him as different skin tones is kind of impossible (let's forget every other impossible thing to do with him though). Changing his skin colour (unless it's for comedic or other reasons) is totally unnecessary and actually pointless. Yes he represents a set of ideals, which transcends race, but the fact (or tradition) is that he is a white guy. Same goes for his red/white clothing, his reindeer pulled sleigh & the fact he comes from the North pole. Changing these characteristics for the sake of racial inclusion is dumb and ineffective.

And to those who have been arguing for it, all your arguments have ben pretty crap and basically wrong.

oh ghod, don't get me started on that. depictions of god or gods as having human or humanoid apperance, and there are many of these which predate christianity considerably, suggest to me, if anything, that humans have been consuming psychodellic substances at least as long as they've been practicing agriculture.

Santa has always been white as far the canon goes... hate to break it to you. Just like how fairies, pixies, and elves are white you know... European legends...

It's not only gods. It's mythological creatures too such as elves, dwarves, and gnomes having mostly been variations of humans.

For the majority of white people who celebrate Christmas. In other cultures he has other skintones; and which skintone has the majority is an interesting question. Remember: there are a lot of Asians.

And traditionally Santa is invisible. Which means he could be a pink fluffy unicorn.

Actually, greenskinned pixies, faeries and elves are quite common in mythology.
