        what about cross dressing Santa, with tits and a giant boner under his costume? That'll teach the kids about the liberal way.

        Sounds like you've got some childhood issues that should be addressed in therapy.

        Because the real Santa was white, just that. As Othelo and Mandela were black. Come on...

        "Real" because the legend was upon a white man, just that. The legend wasnt born in Africa ... or Harlem.

        Santa is a red suit, fluffy beard, and hearty ho ho ho before he is a skin tone.

        As Othelo in Shakespeare was a white actor with a black-painted skin. COME ON!

        Othello functions on the otherness of the title character. must be a "moor" for plot to work. No such requisite for Santa.

        I don't think you understand what "fake news" means. This piece is not news, but a race stirring attempt. Is is not news.

        A person offering a perspective on why diversity matters isn't fake news. It isn't even news. It's storytelling to enhance

        But Santa isn't real. He's a fictional character. If he can have elves and flying reindeer, he can be black too. No big deal

        So St. Nicholas is white. Good for him. Santa can be any race because he's not real. It doesn't hurt anybody.
