Jesus was middle-eastern and Santa Claus was Greek. Jesus probably would have looked something like a modern-day Palestinian/Syrian.

By census definition. Both Jesus and Saint Nicholas would be considered "white". Even though most would consider this definition to rather be "Caucasian".



I mean, I do think its probably silly to call a Palestinian "white". I suppose if she had said "Caucasian", there wouldn't have been such an uproar.

If a Palestinian showed up to a Klan rally, he'd get his ass beat, and Santa Claus is make believe.

ANYONE who thinks Jesus looked like some kind of California beach bum is seriously deluded. As far as Santa being white....umm, HE ISN'T REAL. He can be any color a child would identify with.

Why does anyone care what these people say about anything. It seems many people of the USA have a very unhealthy obsession on what these talking heads do, think and say. Personally I could care less if she said that Jesus was rainbow coloured and striped like a candy cane or Santa is actually Chinese. Why does anyone care, that is the question I can't figure out.

Because many Americans take what the Faux News talking heads say as, pardon the pun, gospel. I wish people would understand what a racket Faux News is and stop treating it as some sort of actual journalistic entity.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly says Jesus and Santa are white
The people who lived in the Middle East in the first century were not white.

Nor was St. Nicholas, and as long as we're pretending he actually has a verifiable skin tone we have to go to the man at the root of the legend - about what you'd expect from a fourth-century Greek living in what is now Turkey/Anatolia/Asia Minor:
