Saint Nick was Turkish, right?

He was from what is now Turkey. But this was in the 300s or thereabouts.

No Turks around anywhere. They were all still over somewhere around China.

Turks didn't show up in the area till well after 1000.

Of course, the people we call Turks today are mixed, and include a very hefty chunk of ancestry from people very similar to Nicholas.

No, sicko and I are "playing" a game.

But I do have a collection of "pigs that fly." And that's the truth!

Maybe Ms. Kelly should get a “hint” from this Henry Tanner painting:

In the second, what verified that Jesus was white?

Are you suggesting he was Black or Asian? Sure seems as if the Bible would have mentioned that he came from lands far away and looked different from everyone else.

But, then, I'm no theologist.

To deny he was white means you admit he exists, nice trap.

The Bible doesn't mention the race of the 3 Kings either, but traditionally Balthasar has been portrayed as black. If he wasn't then wouldn't the Bible have mentioned that?

I have no idea what color Jesus was. But I highly doubt he was the white, European-looking individual that He is usually portrayed as.

Why I had posted the jpg of that Henry Tanner painting of the annunciation is because the Mary in that picture looks Middle Eastern.

Middle-Easterners are Caucasian. White is the admittedly casual term applied to Caucasians. I hope we are not picking nits so closely on FR that we can no longer use the term.

Maybe it would be more ‘fair’ if other races got Santa on some years.

I bet some little minority kids get scared when they see the big white Santa.

Maybe they are scared that he will give them white presents.

Plus it lowers their self esteem to see a Santa who looks like us all the time.

Look how electing Obama made them feel better.

I'm sure after 92 posts someone explained to Megyn that the Lord, Jesus the Christ was a Semite, not a Caucasian.

Semites are a sub-category of Caucasian. The point is that He was not a sub-Saharan Negro, as some Afro-Centrists like to believe.

Technically, Jesus WAS Asian. What continent is Israel on?
