They are both aspects/avatars of same being.

Not in most countries on this planet. There they are distinct and different (and do not look much alike).

Hmm, no. One is an avatar of the winter spirit, the other the patron saint of prostitutes, sailors and bankers

Why cant he be both?

Obviously the old Winter King whose blood is spilt on the snow to ensure the return of summer can also keep prostitutes and sailors safe and drop sacks of gold through windows too. His sacrifice is a precious gift given freely to ensure we all have life and so we feast in his honor, sharing our bounty with all and hang lights in the yule tree to guide the spirits of our ancestors home...

You are not racist for thinking Santa is white but you are for arguing with anyone who thins other wise Santa can be whatever.

Who can possibly be in the mood for winter without prostitutes?

Hence, they're one and the same

In other words its not racist to have a wite Santa, but it is raciest to object to a nonwite Santa or seeking to make portrayals of Santa less ubiquitously wite NESSASERLY IS.

While I believe that there is no such thing as one being of pure race, I'm still referring to the biological aspect of it.

If you want to talk about the biological aspect, genetically speaking, the concept of race does not exist. Also, this thread has been dead for some time already, eh? Why post?
