Like racism. If everything's "racist," then you can't tell what really is racist.

1:10 "If you are an African American child, having a white Santa it would affect you, you wouldn't feel like you were part of the tradition"
Not only is this idiotic, it hinges on the belief that people only feel welcome if there are people of their own race in a certain thing.

So it appears that not only is a major media news outlet claiming that a Turkish bishop is, and should be, white, but also that jesus was white, and that these two factually incorrect things are in some way related.
She also infers that black people are all liars about racial issues. Which isn't surprising.
So NSG, this may seem irrelevant, but it opens up quite a few opportunities for debate:
1: Do you think that we should start to see black representations of Santa in popular culture?
2: Is wanting black representations of Santa in popular culture "racist", or just lobbying?
3: Is the "war on christmas" a legitimate political standpoint?
4: Generally, what are your views on black vs. white representations of popular culture figures in modern culture?
My views, in order:
1: I think it wouldn't hurt. Honestly can't remember the last time I saw black santa, black jesus, black easter bunny, etc.
2: I don't think so, no.
3: I don't think so, and this video almost extremizes the point to the verge of laughability.
4: I think it's heavily skewed towards the white, and that this should be remedies.
So NSG, what you say?

Utceforp wrote:The "Jesus is white" thing is really f*cking stupid, but the "Santa is white" thing at least has a tiny, itty bitty grain of justification. Santa Claus' gift giving tradition was adopted from Odin, so it makes some sense. Claiming Saint Nicholas is white is also completely wrong, though.

If there's a White Santa outside and a black one inside your house, that makes it complicated. The writer of the firestorm-starting article had that experience.
