Chinese Santa Claus's are a dime a dozen - though they prefer wheels to the ground over the flying sleigh option. Saves on the cost of reindeer food, I think.

India does its Santa in the form of sand sculpture at Puri Beach (which is always pretty cool).

Wherever Coke is sold (and where isn't it?), there's a local Santa to be found.

In the little town in Hungary where my husband is from, St. Nick comes around on a horse carriage with Krampus. Krampus are men dressed like demons and whip the children who have been bad with chains. The good kids get crappy candy. What a stinking Christmas one way or the other, now wonder why he's not too fond of it.

The Chinese Santas are pretty slick.
With over a billion people and all that land mass, it takes a village of them to get the job done.

It doesn't matter, the race of a fictional character is totally irrelevant anyway. White santa, black santa, chinese santa who gives a fuck?
Like Sally said different countries have different versions of santa which are no less relevant than ours.
Nobody talks about what species of rabbit the fucking easter bunny is.
Jesus.

I don't think anyone with a fully functional brain is taking this Santa-race shit too seriously.
Having said that, Bill O'Reilly has weighed in.
He supports Megyn Kelly, stating that historically speaking, Santa was a white man. He also says it doesn't matter because the spirit of Santa transcends all racial boundaries.
But, that's not what this is really all about, according to Bill. The whole controversy is nothing more than an attempt by the far left to "demonize Fox News".
Conspiracies everywhere, I tell ya. Even Santa's a political pawn.
I wonder if it's okay to still envision Rudolph as brown and Prancer as gay if I don't go on national news telling everyone else it's wrong to envision them otherwise?

This seems to be their standard line whenever any of those morons get publicly mocked for some of the bullshit they report.

The thing is you can't as a broadcaster spout laughable drivel and then complain when you get called on it and its highlighted by Jon Stewart and others.
Stop talking shit and you will no longer be made a laughing stock Fox News!

I think he's overstating his level of power and influence, but this is the second time I've read about an interview with a "contrite" Glenn Beck in the last couple of months.
Re-branding campaign?

Glenn Beck admitted Tuesday that he has some major regrets about his time at Fox News.
“I remember it as an awful lot of fun and that I made an awful lot of mistakes, and I wish I could go back and be more uniting in my language,” Beck said during an interview with Megyn Kelly. “I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart and it's not who we are.”
He continued, “I didn’t realize how really fragile the people were. I thought we were kind of more in it together and now I look back and realize, if we could've talked about the uniting principles instead of just the problems, I think I would look back more fondly.”
Beck left the network after two and a half years in June 2011 to start his own media company. His tenure was full of controversial moments, from accusing President Obama of being a "racist" to gutting a fish that he compared to the mainstream media on air.

I call bullshit on his “contrite” he doesn't know the fucking meaning of the word.
