Watching people meltdown over a Black Santa in the Mall of America. "Santa is white!" Well, in our internment camp he was Asian. So there. -- George Takei

Actually he was a Turk, during the Byzantine Empire. :-)

But we are talking Mormonism here, so if he was good enough, he would have been turned white (and delightsome).

Or did that doctrine only apply to the New World Jews?

Yep. There is just no room for a non-white Santa in a bigot's heart.


It's a very small place.



One of the most ignorant comments I saw referred to black Santa as a "raghead."

...so Jesus, the raghead, would approve of...


smh

Not only is Santa white . . . he is blonde and blue-eyed.

Just like Jesus.

;-)

And he speaks English. In an American accent.

Or he WAS blonde, before his hair turned WHITE.

Santa's a jerk. He routinely stiffs millions of perfectly fine children who thereafter grow up with unfair self-esteem issues. Meanwhile he exploits elves to make the crap he gives away and reindeer to drag around his ride. Plus, his morbid obesity is far from a good example to hold up to our children. No wonder so many youngsters get creeped out sitting on his lap at the mall.

Considering the labor violations and animal cruelty (not to mention multiple counts of breaking and entering) the dude must have great lawyers.

He should have hung it up a long time ago. Yet he won't retire, and now he's almost as old as an average member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Not to mention he just sits there and swills eggnog during our Imaginary Beings Anonymous meetings.

Having a mostly white beard, a young child came up to me (in the summer no less) and called me "Santa". I am not a supporter of the Santa Claus myth, but it was rather cute. I am mostly bald and not fat but, so what?

Dear rhgc,

I have been a good boy this year. I have done all of my homework except the stuff the dog ate. I finished eating all of my peas except the ones I spit out when Mom wasn't looking.

Please bring me a skateboard, a basketball, and a squirt gun.

Oh, and Salma Hayek.

Sincerely,

During my kids kindergarten years my wife played Santa as no one else stepped up to do it...

I follow George on Twitter. He often comes up with interesting tidbits!

In my house Santa was a white woman.

My dear departed parents played Santa and Mrs. Santa for years. They had very high quality suits custom made and dad got the best Santa beard and hair he could find and they went to every kids party and Christmas concert they were asked to. They absolutely loved kids and "Santas' sack was always full to the brim with good things he had bought. I just wish my grandchildren could have seen them.
