Well then we agree here.
I'm not saying to force anyone to accept a black santa, or force a company to only be able to depict santa as an asian, I'm just saying it's dumb to say his skin color is "white" - absolutely - when obviously he's just an imaginary made up thing that's been molded over the years to better fit various cultures, etc.
oh, that part is true, absolutely.
the original figure of St. Nicholas from whom Santa is derived was a 4th century Greek Bishop, an active participant in the Council of Nycea and one of the most venerated Saints both in Latin and Eastern Churches. As Greek he is obviously Caucasian or white, so Megyn Kelly's remarks are factually true, but the teacher in the school was wrong to make a holiday about race.
Caucasian and white are not the same thing. Many Caucasians have dark skin.
it is the same. those are synonyms., albeit "white" is not factually very correct description.
yes, a lot of Caucasians have very dark skin, as the color of skin is NOT the main determinant of Caucasian ( white) race.
