So, apparently someone wants Santa to be portrayed as penguin because having him be a white guy could make black kids sad.

I laughed.

[distoorted]

Now that's just silly.

As a penguin, I find this highly offensive

[NuclearInfected]

Part of him is still white.

[Sevkat]

white pplz piss me off

[null556]

But penguins only live in the south hemisphere.

[ElMagnificoBurro]

Wait... santa's not black? THE FUCK!?

[AngryGrag]

Welcome to the PC generation. If one minority feels uncomfortable about something for no good reason then you are a communist neo-nazi if you don't agree with them.

[Viper]

Well thats just silly.
Penguins can't fly.

[Head-Full-Of-Acid]

i like this idea.

[MadFedora]

As a Russian, I find this highly cute.

[Scintillating]

No, santa should be a gay black man, what the fuck.

Yeah, in Antarctica. Which is hilarious because I hear black people hate cold weather.

I love the announcer.

"It's happening. In JAPAN."

Well of course it is, where else could it happen?

[Boomstick]

Well if a white guy broke into your house, and you are not ethically white like 60% of the US. Then you would obviously be sad and scared. But if a cute animal who is pretending to be a figure that could potentially strike fear into children came into your house, you'd just be fine and dandy with that.

This is just the manocentric manocracy forcing their mysoginistic and misguided minds on Us.

"Santa" or "Saint Nicholas" should have a non-religion based, gender non specific name such as Casey or Alex (NOT ALEXANDER), and be a Mix Raced, Trans Gendered, Bisexual, feminist so that way young girls have a model to look up to. Little girls get presents while boys get coal.

DOWN WITH MYSOGENY.

Jesus was a coloured chappie, so why can't we portray Santa as he really was?

Of course, he wasn't fat and he didn't have reindeer, but still.

[kmau]

So basically King Dedede?

[ManDeep]

Since Jesus was already black, i think us white folk should have someone who represen-tates us as well, so i'd rather keep him a white man.

[kisame]

Krampus should be a Ghost Bear.

[Splats]

Oh but that's just one kid. You wouldn't even believe what's going on here.
So we basically had our own version of Santa Claus (Sinterklaas), and he had this black companion that delivered the presents for him in the kids' chimneys (basically what Santa Claus does, but Sinterklaas had his buds to help out, he just kind of sat on his horse the whole time). So now Jamaicans (where the fuck did they come from) are mad at us for having this century-old tradition of black dudes helping a white dude. Mind you, dumbass Jamaicans didn't even do their research. The myth tells Sinterklaas' little helpers aren't even african: the chimney just makes 'em black (although this may be bullshit, as they even have red lips and afro hair and such). Still: I know no black person that takes offense in this.

TL;DR version: why is everyone so butthurt omg

Because I doubt kids would be okay with getting presents delivered to them by a one-eyed Norse God who rides in a chariot that is pulled by an 8-legged horse.

Santa is based off of Odin

i think the real issue here is not that santas white
its that he's obese
it sends a bad message to our children

[mandog]

He's not real so he can be triky for all I care.

[Dragen]

For fucks sake, this is geographically inaccurate. Penguins don't live on the north pole, Santa does! Penguins only exist in the southern hemisphere! Many eskimos and inuits will be offended by this portrayal. Make him a polar bear instead!
