Alright, FOX news has finally settled the argument, Jesus and Santa Claus are white.

quote:

Fox News television host Megyn Kelly told viewers on her December 11 broadcast that Jesus and Santa are both white men.

"Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," Kelly said. "Jesus was a white man, too. It's like we have, he's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?"
Story and video.

Alright, considering that Santa Claus is based on the dutch myth of Sinter Klaus, I can see the argument that he is white.

Jesus on the other hand was a Jew, and was dark skinned, not Caucasian.

But, FOX says otherwise and they seem to speak for the conservatives in this country (okay not all conservatives, but they do have the highest ratings of news networks.)

John Stewart's take on this

I wasn't aware that Jews were dark skinned, and it would appear that Northern and Western European DNA has had a presence in the Middle East for a very long time.

Up to 70 percent of British men and half of all Western European men are related to the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, geneticists in Switzerland said... The results showed that King Tut belonged to a genetic profile group, known as haplogroup R1b1a2, to which more than 50 percent of all men in Western Europe belong, indicating that they share a common ancestor. ~Reuters

Are you saying that most Brit males look like pansies, K?

I thought Santa Clause came from a real life bishop in the area around Turkey and Greece?

In any case, both of the original persons were probably not 'white' enough for some Fox viewers to let either one go out with their daughters...

At one time the original thirteen colonies of the Americas was under British rule. In 2013 (and nearly 2014), those colonies are nine states and four commonwealths of a country called the United States of America. What ever Santa was in Europe is one thing, and the Santa of today is something else. If black people want to say Santa is black, he's black. If white people want to say Santa is white, he's white. If the Klingons what to say Santa was a Klingon, he's a Klington. On Independence day, I see men of every color, nationality, age, and rank in Boston, MA. I also see all the ladies in uniform as well. On Halloween its scary monsters from the Monster Manual or Bestiary books. Thanksgiving there is 'white' and 'dark' meat since that is how most turkeys exists. Memorial Day we do not segregate the races, since all of them fought for this nation in just about every conflict. President's Day is no longer about 'old white guys'; nor is Valentine's Day for just heterosexual couples.

The point is, does of Santa's skin color....REALLY.....matter?

FOX News has ALWAYS been hateful towards America for nearly twenty years. They didn't show President Obama's inauguration days. They side step Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as much as they can. They are happy to report illegal immigration if its full of images of Mexicans but never any of those that are white. An we have all know the company is full of lies on top of being hateful towards America. Megan Kelly works for FOX News. She lost her independence when the company gave her the big bucks. So they expect her to speak the language they pay her for on a daily basis.

Jews (along with Irish, Italians, etc) weren't considered "white" until the 20th century. Before that, Jews were considered to be part of the darker-skinned "Semetic" race.

Regardless, Jesus (if he existed) probably looked more like Saddam Hussein or Bashar al-Assad than like the blond, blue-eyed guy in those Renaissance paintings.
