We are sitting here, after a wonderful family breakfast of waffles, when some idiot comes on the television saying that Santa Clause should be more diverse. Does anyone research history before they open their mouths?

Stories about Santa Clause were originally shared from various European countries, where there were very few people of color, at that time. This is not a racist statement, it is factual.

Saying Santa needs to be more "colorful",is like wanting George Washington to be Black, Latin American or Asian, or Martin Luther King to be White, Asian or Latin American.

Many people want to believe that  Jesus was a blond haired, blue eyed man but based on where he was born, this is not possible either.

Life would be so much easier if everyone just loved one another, if every race was colorblind and we quit trying to rewrite history!
