"Santa should be portrayed not as a white guy–or a black or brown guy–but as a penguin."
"For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white. But this person is maybe just arguing that we should also have a black Santa. But, you know, Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we're just debating this because someone wrote about it, kids."
This is why my kids will never watch Fox News. She also went on to say that Jesus was white. For good measure of course.
My first thought. Was Fox News using irony?
It is amazing to think that people can be so ignorant.
They are paid for being stupid.
Jesus wasn't white. He was light brown at most.
The word often used is "dusky".
He was from the Middle East.
Also, as a wandering preacher, his clothes would have been dirty and torn, not the snazzy stuff you see on stained glass.
(The only exception was when he visited his home town Nazareth
when his mum would have washed and sewn them.)

I'm almost afraid to ask.
Jesus spent most of his life in Africa?
his clothes would have been dirty and torn,
watched this the other day - it included the first black santa graduate from santa school

Do you know what the 'one drop rule' actually is?Yeah. With nothing better to gripe about all the anti-racists will start banning Santa Claus no matter what skin colour he is.
Jesus did spend most of his life in Africa, who knows. According to Tiassa's one drop rule I suppose everybody is black.
It is alleged that Jesus wore a robe without seams. The entire robe was woven into one piece. Do any of us have seamless clothing? I know I don't.
Ha!
1) Jesus never existed - so he wasn't 'white' or black, brown, blue, green.
2) Saint Nikolaos of Myra was Greek. At least he did exist.
Jon Stewart hit back: "Who are you actually talking to?"
He tried to imagine the kid Kelly was addressing: "Sophisticated enough to be watching a news channel at 10 o'clock at night, yet innocent enough to still believe Santa Claus is real, yet racist enough to be freaked out if he isn't white."
Even more troublesome was her statement that the black Slate writer she was addressing need not have concerned herself with such issues: "Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change." As Stewart pointed out, that's literally the dictionary definition of oppression.
Do you know what the 'one drop rule' actually is?
It doesn't mean that spending time around Africans or black people will result in taking on their colour.
If he existed, he would have been born in the now Middle East, not Europe. Which means he would have looked like all the other people living there. In other words, not white, with blue eyes and light brown hair like the retard from Fox seems to believe.
