What's this ridiculousness that Santa is white?

I guess Fox news and some Republicans are insisting Santa is white. I mean really, why make that an issue? I believe there is a black Santa. I believe children picture Santa in their own mind’s eye and adults do too. I have a girlfriend who collects black Santas. Artists and sculptures have been depicting Santa as black for a long long time. Maybe in some countries he is Asian, or looks Middle Eastern?

Why are Some Republicans sticking to this argument that Santa is white? I don’t get it. Is that supposed to help them win the minority vote? Is there some positive political reason for going with this BS? Maybe St. Nick was caucasian, but I have not heard anyone trying to make that argument. Although, admittedly I have not watched much of this conversation.

The media and the Republicans are ridiculous on this in my opinion. What is the point? What can be the gain?
