Black Santas are less of a fantasy than black fathers living at home.

Santa is from Finland. The first black person set foot in Finland in roughly 1983. This is stupid.

I’m curious how the Santas in Africa were depicted?

Btw are there Santas in the Middle East? Afghanistan Christmas? Who dresses up?

They dress the Jews up as Santa before making them run a gauntlet. Oh. Wait. That was the Catholics.

Easiest thing to do is have a Soul santa

I’m pretty sure St. Nicholas was indeed a white guy.

I think the Dutch have a Santa’s helper called Black Peter. I don’t think he’s actually black though I think he’s covered in soot from chimneys. So it’s probably a white elf in blackface

I bet he gets the name due to his endowment.

Santa has been represented as a lot of different races. He's originally and primarily white but white people typically don't get butthurt when we see a black/brown/yellow Santa. Ironically, the most butthurt among us are the ones pushing to cancel white Santa.
