Nah we just have some ass backwards people. Have you met the older generation? They can't cope with change.

I'm just glad to live in a society where things like this can be considered controversies. It means we apparently don't have anything more important to worry about.

I doubt the folks across the globe dealing with hunger, civil war or human trafficking give a rat's behind what Santa looks like.

According to liberals white people suck. Santa should be the typical Democrat: a moocher on welfare who is illegal and hates religion.

Is 10% considered "lots"?

Also, how did you calculate the 10%?

It's one thing to create new characters that aren't white. That's fine.

It's another to take one that's been around for over a hundred years and change them from white to another color.

Change is good when it's needed. Not when it's absolutely useless and based on idiotic and incorrect thinking like the one espoused by the author of the article.

Actually, it should be a polar bear. And after the delivery of presents has been completed, there should be a ritual sacrifice of the reindeer. Rudolph would be spared, however, as his red nose is a beacon to heaven and we all want to go to heaven.

[maybe Santa could rub it for good luck or better sexual stamina]

Santa Claus should be a dog, because they have a better soul, and more empathy than most humans.
