St Nick was Turkish. This is the wrong shade of brown.

Umm, where did I say it was? He was born in coastal present day turkey. Being coastal, he was dark complected with dark eyes. He wasn’t black, but he wasn’t close to being fair skinned and rosey cheeked either

This shouldn’t be controversial

Just so y’all understand, middle eastern people and the like are “white”. Osama bin Laden for example is white

I’ll argue none are that important

female indiana jones
black female darth vader


These are your examples of historical and important figures…

How do people even notice things like this


Do you have a set of working eyes?

Go watch commercials and pick out the white people. They're either not there, or in some bumbling fool capacity. White husbands are idiots and you have the black wife either saving him or rolling her eyes in disgust.

If aliens popped in and watched our commercials, they'd think the US is 90% gay couples, interracial, trans, etc.

It's pretty bad if you actually start paying attention.

Thank you! Can’t we just get all mythical figures to be middle eastern moving forward?

We’re all just cross-bred derivatives of this anyway, right?

In fairness, there was a time where you'd hardly ever see a person of color in a movie or commercial. Keep your head up. When the Hispanics become the majority, you'll be able to virtue signal also.

I believe in representation, truly. What you see in commercials right now isn't accurate.

Right, so fair turn was to swing in the opposite direction? Or should it have been to create a fair representation for all?

Does a nerd feel vindication when a bully ceases to beat on him? Everyone wants their turn in the sun. It's human nature.

Do you get this mad at WWII movies that make America the central hero and “winner” of the war, while completely ignoring the bigger part the Russians played?

Just wait till Santa is Chinese, or Mexican or Indian.

Or a woman. Or a trans woman or man.

You know it’s coming.

Home Depot sells white and black Santa yard ornaments.

Looked dumb side by side.

When black Santa goes on sale I’m buying him and some pasty spray paint.

That’s how you win.

They just ran out of white male actors. They were all busy with ADT commercials acting as the burglar.
