Racial demographics are changing in the US, and this argument about the skin-tone of Santa Claus is symbolically an argument over who's going to be dominant, going forward.
I like whatever puts a bug up the collective asses at Fox & Friends.

The rest I concur with.

Thank Goodness someone has finally got to the bottom of this issue. I always thought he was kinda pasty...

And of course Jesus was Jewish.

I think I'm going to contact Fox and demand to know this.
She should show the whole world this Sunday at primetime.

Santa is just another manifestation of Tao, which has no colour and all colours. Ask Lao-Tzu.

It turns out we'll have to ban Santa Claus from public spaces according to the new interpretation of the Constitution.

'Santa' means 'Saint'.

Still griping about the wall between church and state? Keep your creepy elves and your gods on your own damn land and everything will be hunky dory.

My land? I thought this land was my land? Or this land is your land? Why can't they make up their minds?
