Come on man we're trying to be angry not sensible

Luke Cage has history with racism. His skin tone is significant to his character because of the shit he's undergone because of it, same way race is integral to a portrayal of MLK. But who the fuck cares about a fictional character? Have you seen black Santa? He look Santa af.

I said this shit the other day and had like 50 downvotes

Santa Clause was based off of Saint Nicholas of Myra, a Turk from the 4th century byzantine empire.

So you got 100 upvotes and you blatantly lied about it.

Obviously you cared enough to pull off that flappy ass historical BS to assert your claim.

EDIT: So you guys do care if Santa is white or not. Fake asses

Yeah, and Christmas is the holiday for Christianity, which is centered in Europe. If Kwanzaa had a Santa equivalent and he was a white dude in a costume, I would understand the outrage. Actually that's more understandable because most of the population is white so you're going to have to go out of your way to make sure you find a black Kwanzaa Man. Or if Budda passed out gifts and he was white, in China, that would be fucking weird.

You mean the fucking turk saint 'St Nicholas' is based off?

3) profit?

Nobody wants a fat black dude coming down their chimney at 2am apparently.

The fuck do you mean "Santa isn't real"??

I'm campaigning for Asian Santa

Saint Nicholas was a real guy, who is what Santa is supposed to be.

St. Nick was real tho....

So Santa is also genderfluid because it isn't real?

Well, Santa is based on St Nick who is real and was from what is now Turkey, but it was part of Greece when he was around.

Here's the thing. You said "Santa is a any color he wants" Is he real? No. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies Christmas, I am telling you, specifically, in Holidology, no one calls Santa black. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "black people" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of real niggas, which includes things from Snoop Dogg to NWA to Wu Tang. So your reasoning for calling Santa black is because random people "call Santa Not real?" Let's get the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. Santa is a Santa and a member of the imaginary Holiday family. But that's not what you said. You said Santa is black, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the imaginary holiday family crows, which means you'd call Leprechauns, Cupids, and other characters black, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Santa is a German myth. So German= white

without stuff like this we'd have to resort to "white people can't season food"
