It’s about as plausible as anything that Jesus of Nazareth looked like a typical Nazarene. Which was Israel’s idea of trailer trash, if I am picking up on the New Testament context correctly.

I.e. Jesus was redneck before redneck was cool. The manual labor class (he was a carpenter) didn’t get a lot of respect. The big glory, to Israel, was in the literati. And the irony was... here was the Guy who, as God in eternity, breathed those holy books they were priding themselves over!

Well, Santa (St. Nicholas) was from Turkey, no? (Or what is today called Turkey) so I guess that makes him white; Jesus was a Jew from the Middle East, now to me those people count as white also, but I suppose some class them as “brown” in some way.

Yes. The diaspora, when Jews emigrated to Rome, and then spread throughout Europe.

The word would be swarthy. Nominally Caucasian, but Caucasian covers a range of hues.

If God had sent Him as an alley cat we should not refuse Him. (He was the Lion of Judah.)

Jesus means so, so much. We usually err by underestimating Him rather than overestimating Him.

the “Zig-Zag Man”

You mean from the rolling paper package?

If that is right I can’t believe I knew what you were talking about. I never liked Zig-Zag, I used that other brand whatever it was.

Seriously, who can remember?!

I didnt say I think he is Asian, I said he could be Asian.

Some Asians are used to cold climates.

The actual Saint Nicholas was Greek. But Greeks come in different hues too.

I would expect that in the fairyland world, Santa is a Swede. The commute is close to the North Pole office. (Kidding around about this one, as if you couldn’t tell.)

That’s true... Mongolians would be.

But a Mongolian Santa would look weird. (To us.)

Anyhow, Santa is a purposed fantasy tale. Jesus is real, and he’s what we get when Heaven puts in an appearance as one of its creatures. The proof is in what happens when He is worshiped in earnest.

“He also included Cleopatra and Hannibal as black.”

I never got that whole: The ancient Egyptians were Negro thing. Forget all the bs that went with it about them inventing the airplane and who knows what else.

I forget what that whole like of delusional leftist thought was called, can anyone remember?

It really was that stuff that made me realize some of these people on the other side are mentally ill.

But not to them.

Besides he only comes when you are sleeping so you parents could tell you he's white and get away with it.

“Why would you think Santa is Asian?”

Because Santa was from Turkey which is also known as Asia Minor?

"How do I know he's not Asian?"

Why would you even think about it?

I know! You think Buddha is the Easter Bunny!
