Santa Claus mythology didn’t originate in sub-Saharan Africa. The Clauses are white, plain and simple

It doesn't matter, Santa Claus is an imaginary character.

If you told a 3 year old white child the story of Santa, he'd probably imagine it as a white man. If you told a 3 year old black child the story, they'd probably imagine it as a black man.

Just because the first cartoon you saw had a white santa doesn't mean it is "right"

It is a STORY, meant for children's imaginations, it is in the eyes of the listener.

Is that why they keep changing Christmas characters to black?

This is so dumb. One Mrs. Claus is black and this guy thinks the character is changed. You can cosplay your wife right now and change the character back to white.

I'm just sick of having 70% of people portrayed on social events(MACYS PARADE) as minorities. Hopefully it's just a phase. Don't watch and they get the message.

A Dutch myth based off of a real guy, Saint Nicholas, who certainly wasn't black.

Should we make pilgrims black too? I'm sure the little black kids would love to see representation among pilgrims. Maybe even a couple black Natives.

It’s okay for the photo shoot, but everybody knows what would happen if a black man came down a chimney in the middle of the night.

This is cultural appropriation at its highest form. inventions of Kwanzaa and Juneteenth, I don’t think AA’s would like us whitewashing their conjured-up holidays, so leave the Dutch and English imaginary figure alone.

Typical idiotic leftist reply. Claim it’s no big deal what color a character is while ignoring the fact it was important enough to change their race to begin with. You’d probably be one of the first to be offended if a historically black character were swapped to white.

I’m an old man 30 years ago this probably would have bothered me but not today. If it brings people together I’m for it
