'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 .

What do you mean, I can't tell the difference? Bet I didn't know that? Who the bloody hell are you talking to?

Santa is a white man with a white beard who comes from the North Pole. That's the image everyone sees because THAT's what the image is. Try taking folklore figures from other cultures and making them white. See how it plays out.

Why would I take it up with anyone?

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?

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.

That apparently seems ok , yet Santa is somehow more offensive
