Slate: Santa Claus shouldn’t be a white man anymore

You heathens! Kris Kringel brings gifts, not Santa Claus or St. Nicholas!

People of Middle Eastern descent are considered Caucasian.

I agree some middle eastern people look Caucasian but most have a look entirely of their own aka Mediterraneans look. But I guess one can say that they are definitely no African looking.

Btw I feel for this woman, she is probably trying to create some holiday figure black people can look up to, but you don't do that by taking something from everyone else.

No. Middle Easterners are Caucasian. Whites (Northern Europeans) are a group within the Caucasian race, which is defined by a common ancestry from the Caucasus mountains in southern Russia, Georgia, and Armenia.

We know how he died and hundreds of people saw him come from the dead, but nobody knows what he looks like, yeah, makes perfect sense.

People at that time did not understand linear perspective or color theory. They would not have been able to create an accurate image of Yeshua or anyone else. Even if they could, they likely wouldn't have. 1st century Christians generally didn't even like linear perspective (the illusion of 3 dimensions on 2 demensional mediums like canvas) in their sacred art.

Some in the ME are Aryans- Caucasians are from the Caucusus mountains.

Arabs and Jews are Semitic and Jesus would definitely have been a little darker than most "white" guys.

Don't argue semantics. 'White' isn't a race -- just like black, red, and yellow aren't races. Caucasian, however, is a race, and Jesus being darker than the average European doesn't change this.

The Aryans inhabited modern-day Iran, Pakistan, and India, which aren't anywhere near Israel or the line of David.

Might be a fungal infection.

Santa Claus shouldn't be a man anymore, either. Having a male Santa only serves to reinforce the Patriarchy. How can little girls enjoy Christmas with such obvious sexism on display?

Great example of advanced propaganda.

Do you know the true history of "Kris Kringle"? Translated, it means Christ-child. Jesus brings presents, not some secular fat-man with a white beard, shilling for Macy's and Coca-Cola.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christkind

The Christkind (German "Christ-child", pronounced [ˈkʁɪstkɪnt]) is the traditional Christmas gift-bringer in regions of Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, parts of Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary, France, Upper-Silesia in Poland, parts of Hispanic America, in certain areas of southern Brazil and in the Acadiana region of Louisiana. In Italian, it is called Gesù Bambino, in Portuguese Menino Jesus ("Jesus Boy"), in Hungarian Jézuska ("Little Jesus"), in Slovak Ježiško ("Little Jesus"), in Czech Ježíšek ("Little Jesus"), in Latin America "Nino Dios" ("God Child") and in Croatian Isusić ("Little Jesus").
