On Wednesday night Megyn Kelly declared on her Fox News show that both Santa Claus and Jesus were white. Discussing a piece in Slate by Aisha Harris about a black versus white Santa, Kelly that "just because it makes you feel uncomfortable it doesn't mean it has to change."

"You know, I've given her her due. Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change," Kelly said. "Jesus was a white man, too. It's like we have, he's a historical figure that's a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?"

Santa Claus can be traced to a real life monk named St. Nicholas who lived in what is today Turkey, according to the History Channel. Jesus Christ was born to a Jewish family around what is now Israel, and his race has long been debated with several scholars saying he likely looked like what many modern day people of Middle Eastern descent look like.

The unusual segment, where the panelists also debated whether Santa Claus should be a penguin as Harris writes in her piece, seemed to be directly contradicting what Kelly said on Monday when she appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

"I'm a straight news anchor, I'm not one of the opinion hosts," she told Leno. "The way we do it on the Fox News Channel is the straight news anchors like us give a hard time to both sides."

It seems as though there may be other things to debate that are "straight news" beyond whether Santa and Jesus where white.

But it is kind of stupid to argue the race of Santa Claus.... but kind of indicative of where we are. As to the blogger who put forth about 2000 words on this subject that started the whole hubbub... I usually just ignore people like that. Maybe Megyn Kelly should, too.

Who gives a **** about Santa Claus? It's the Jesus crack that did the damage.

Don't minimize this ****, 90.

Claiming Jesus is white is dangerous, especially for the rest of the (non white) world.

Jesus was prolly a arab. Santa Claus is white. His partner was Black Peter.

Anybody who thinks Jesus looked anything different from what your average West Bank Semite looks like is an idiot. The people who say he was white AND the people who say he was black.

He probably looked more like Osama Bin Laden than anything else.


***Edit: there's actually a caveat here.... if we were to defer to the racial identity politics of the good ol modern USA, Jesus would in fact be classifed as white. When measuring racial demographics in job applications, the FBI UCR, you name it... Middle Eastern Arabs as well as Palestinian/Lebanese/Syrian/Turks are all classified as white.

But yeah... dude had a tan.

Well, that seems to be kleanex's logic on giving Cunt Fonda a pass....because she was allegedly "hot" 130 years ago...
