There are people of every race in Europe, but they aren't European. And there weren't any non-whites in Northern Europe when the myth of Sinterklaas was formed, nor in Scandinavia where Odin(who santa is partially derived from) came from. There are no non-white portrayals of Sinterklaas or Odin from older time periods. They are European traditions, created by european people, portrayed as european people.
Making a non-white Santa would be as contrived as making a White Buddha. You could do it, nothing is stopping you, but it has no basis with historical presentations of the Buddha.
Bullshit. Of course they are. And check out Sinterklaas' helper,
Black Peter -- who's under PC fire in Holland as we speak. Sinterklaas may have some Odinic roots but he's at least as indebted to "St. Nicholas", who's another mythical figure derived from "Old Nick", ultimately derived from Poseidon, plus the Grandmother figure of Bari and southern Italy.
Again, these are myths. Myths are made up. They can be anything we want;
there is no "historical authenticity" to a figure who has never in reality existed.
No they aren't. If I moved to China, I wouldn't become Chinese, if moved to Africa, I wouldn't become an African. They may live there, but they aren't racially European.
It is interesting how you ignored the fact there were no non-whites in Europe during those times, or historical portrayals of Sinteklaas or Odin as White? Those facts are pesky and don't fit your world view huh?
I don't see how Black Peter makes Santa black, lol. You are just getting lamer and lamer.
And St. Nicholas is Greek, he is White. You are just getting into a deeper and deeper hole.
You can have your Black Odin, White Buddha, or Asian Santa Claus, no one is stopping you. But they are ridiculous.
