Topic | Charlize Theron: It was hard to film Santa is white scene as a mom to black kids |
Skye Reynolds 12/04/19 10:36:58 PM #2: | Sweet Jiminy Christmas, Now we have to make Santa black or multicultural because some Hollywood mom adopted black kids? Santa, as a character, is white. Or you can make him black. But it's hard to keep the Santa is real thing going if you have differing reports on what Santa looks like. We could give Santa a friend who is black. The best way to celebrate diversity with Santa is by showing children or helpers of different ethnic groups. Or go the multiple Santas route. Or, if you want to block your kids from watching holiday specials altogether, you can go the Santa's Husband route (no, seriously, that is a thing) and just say that the jolly white guy is the husband of black St. Nick. Not everything has to be an act of oppression just because a white guy is featured. On the other hand, I don't begrudge Black Santa either. He's appeared in some good shows and, if you look at historic depictions of the actual Saint Nicholas, he's of a darker complexion than most would expect. So, there's that. Do what you want to do, they're your kids. But damn is this a bit silly. --- It's Christmas at ground zero. Now the missiles are on their way. What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked on this jolly holiday! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
