So you're okay with a white Jesus? Fine... but you're the one who used him as an example.

I have a problem with Disney full stop.

I haven't had much to do with you Goldheart, and that's because you post stuff like this. Facepalm yourself.

You posted a 'touche' in response to my post. I didn't bring Jesus up.

We're a long way from Zeffirelli's Jesus. Is there anyone alive now who doesn't think that Jesus, if he lived at all, looked like a Middle Eastern Jew? I mean, does anyone imagine he was a white man?

And weren't we talking about Nordic Father Christmas?

'Black Pete' is literally white people doing black face and not caring who they offend , oh and by the way anyone who disagreed with the 'tradition' got death threats.. ( how lovely eh) bet you didn't know that ?, there was silent protests around it .

Santa can be any race , he could even been a woman in a fake white beard ,why does it matter . plus they'll always be a million old white men dressed as Santa , that's the image everyone always sees .

Not caring who they offend....should read, not caring who they are entertaining whilst on stage.

It's sweet that you don't see that your every post is petty and provocative.

I don't use emoticons because I can write in full sentences.

Don't talk to me again.

Do people realise Santa / Father Christmas was based on St Nicholas who was of Greek descent and born in Turkey , he was NOT a white man.

I still find it creepy that he likes to break into houses to visit kids.

At least you're getting it.

Seriously though I think it would be more weird to me if the character's race was a defining element of the character.

for me, Aang in The Last Airbender Film not looking Asian even though he has got a bloody Chinese name was the worst.
