I wonder if anyone ever accused Bing Crosby of being a racist, for singing that song? I think a group handed out a petition to do so to see if college students would sign it. Yup, they did.
College Students Sign Petition to Ban White Christmas Because Its Racist
When we lived in Haiti I vividly remember our first Christmas there. Walking downtown PaP one of the Lebanese-owned shops had Christmas music blasting outside. I conducted my business there and the same younger Haitian male was there singing along to "White Christmas" in his stunted English.
As we exchanged pleasantries, I asked him, in Creole, what he thought "White Christmas" meant. His reply, I kid you not, was that he wanted a Christmas like white people had. He was perplexed, to say the least, that anyone would sing about snow...

Dont forget that the song premiered in the film Holiday Inn where Bing Crosby sang a song in honor of Lincolns Birthday in blackface!

Tala Hajaj, a freelance hair stylist from Sidcup, Kent, told MailOnline her 70-year-old disabled mother was forced to wait ten hours yesterday for her BA flight to Riyadh from Heathrow, only to be told it was cancelled.Muzzies and snow. Two things that will destroy today's England.

Looks like just another winter day in Pennsylvania. Did they stock up on milk, eggs, bread and beer?We always laugh when we see people running to the store for the "milk, eggs and bread" snow warnings.
My son says, "Milk, bread and eggs?"
"Why do they always want French toast in the snow?"

Ah, but Disney is introducing a boy princess. Look it up. Why am I not surprised?
I think Walt Disney is turning over in his grave at this time.

Maybe some of the Muzzies will get cold enough to go back to their warm homelands.

They probably had some at one point, but sold it due to incipient global warming.
