1: Since Saint Nicholas (the person Santa Claus is based on) is white, no. Santa Claus, regardless of that, is traditionally white as well.

3: I don't see how these relate.
4: I think they should stick to their traditional representations.

Back to the issue at hand, I propose we drop this thread... because it's unintellectual, and utterly stupid. I also propose we drop this woman who filmed the YouTube video, the poster, all those in it, etcetera into dirty ice water.

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.

I assumed you were implying there was a significant difference between the two, you did call mine 'groundless', when they look pretty similar, but no harm done buddy!

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?

Then stop arguing that Santa Claus should be traditionally white. If it doesn't matter what color people are, there would be no traditional, "better" color - and logically you would not care what color the modern representation of Santa is.
