Re: So, should Santa be black?

I guess I was trying to say that the US has a ton of different cultures/ethnicities, and I don't know how a singular character would be able to suit everyone's needs. (I don't see why Santa is supposed to be relatable? He's an oldman who brings presents to children. Why does it matter what he looks like aside from fat, has a beard, wears red)

IA.

But I was not thinking about anyone doing something mandatory on a bigger scale to "suit everyone's needs". Just, if somebody dresses up as Santa, it doesn't matter who they are - black, Irish, or homosexual. Or, if somebody draws Santa/uses him in ads/movies, it could be fun to have some diversity (but not in a SJW we-need-more-Native-American-representation way, just... for the sake of creativity, seeing as he is a universal symbol).

eta: actually, I think Terry Pratchett already outdid everyone with his representation!Santa. Everyone else can go home. His Santa is the Death, ffs.

I have nothing against those things, I just don't agree with the article about how Santa must be non-white now to be relatable.

Well, IA, then.

But overall, I find the sentiment silly. What the hell, people. Why would it even matter.
