So what color is Santa?

In all honesty I have only seen him depicted as white which equates to some as his not being inclusive. So is it time to dump Santa as a symbol of Christmas?

It's been suggested that a penguin replace the jolly old elf that we grew up with. I guess I have a hard time envisioning a penguin guiding that sleigh full of toys. No self respecting reindeer is going to be led by a penguin.

White with

White with a good tan from hanging out in the med in the off season.

So if Santa is based on St Nick who was "whatever you want to call someone from Greece on around to Egypt" what "color are they.

If you go with the classic three classifications then yes he was white.

But really Santa is Santa, if he walked in the door whatever color he was I'd say "Hi Santa".

To 47% of the population of this Country, he's about half-black.

Wait...

What? Santa is real? I thought he was a figment of our collective imagination.
