It is a part of “Americana” that can not be avoided when taking in the entirely of American Culture and Folk Art. Different people collect different things. I have a collection of wall crosses from all over the world. One of them is ebony from someplace in Africa. Some might look at the figure on the Cross and find it offensive, since the artist obviously portrayed a figure that looked like himself. The wood is black, the artist was African, so the Jesus looks like a stylized Black Man. It is neither racist, nor is it anti-christian, even though it is historically inaccurate.
The cross from Romania actually has a hand-grip on it...to repel vampires? Some Romanian might say that it is culturally insensitive!
There you go! Scandanavian/white Santa ‘ offends’ many, but it’s accurate. Forget those hula girl dolls on dashboards, Mexican themed parties with sombreros and piñatas-offensive! Everywhere you go there will be SOMETHING that offends you-visually or aurally. The only sure way to avoid that is to blind and deafen yourself.
