Sort of almost true.

There is a bit of lazy controversy in the world, apparently a Fox new reporter decided to make the statement. "And by the way, for all of you watching at home, Santa just is white, but this person is just arguing maybe we should also have a black Santa," Fox anchor Megyn Kelly said. "But, you know, Santa is what he is."

Now while she's kind being a bitch about it sadly she's not completely wrong if you take out the "magical" fat man that slides down chimneys and leaves free stuff for who behave, we won't even get into the whole Krampus aspect of it. If you look at the fact's.

There are many kinds of Santa Clauses with many different names. Despite their many names, they are all basically the same mythic character. But few of them have anything to do with the real Saint Nicholas (Sankt Nikolaus or der heilige Nikolaus), who was probably born around A.D. 245 in the port city of Patara in what we now call Turkey. Very little solid historical evidence exists for the man who later became the Bishop of Myra and the patron saint of , sailors, students, teachers, and merchants. He is credited with several miracles and his feast day is Dec. 6, which is the main reason he is connected with Christmas. In Austria, parts of Germany, and Switzerland, der heilige Nikolaus (or Pelznickel) brings his gifts for on Nikolaustag, Dec. 6, not Dec. 25. Nowadays, St. Nicholas Day (der Nikolaustag) on Dec. 6 is a preliminary round for Christmas

So basically look at it this way in the modern version of the fairy tale, we have a pagan holiday to celebrate, the birth of a Jewish carpenter, by Christians that is represented by a German catholic priest who has been turned into an advertisement by Coke.

And just for the record its fictional character he could be purple for all I care. The fact people get upset over stupid stuff like this annoys me. As of Nov. the 7th. 3,395 coalition soldiers have died in Afghanistan. If your more offended by what color Santa is then you need a life.
Don't compromise yourself! You are all you've got!
