To be fair St. Nick was a real dude, who was Greek. I don't think there are that many Greeks in the US to have a totally authentic Santa so they might have to settle for Mexican mall-Santas if they're that keen on matching colours.

I'd be geniunely shocked if even the best doxxer could find anything useful on me since I don't use social media and don't generally disclose personal info online, plus I use a different name/nick on each service I use online (email/steam/this site/etc). So good luck with that.

That said, as a well armed person with a concealed carry permit, I would be delighted if some racist shitheel lurking here did doxx and find/confront/threaten me.

I don't know, our local Greek Orthodox community has St. Nick in all his robed and mitered glory show up at their festival.

That is pretty bad. But the top comment is awesome

If there were a Santa Claus, there is very little doubt that he would have to be white. After all, no black man could manage to work only one day out of the year and not be called lazy; and surely no black man could get away with breaking into millions of homes, even if he was bearing presents. Some cop or neighborhood watch captain would surely have taken him down long ago, convinced that the red suit he was wearing signified gang colors

Yeah, it's just kind of lovely that people tend to overlook the Copts, when, you know. They have arguably the best claim to being descendants of pharaohs.

e: That's all I'm basically saying here - pity the Copts. God knows they deserve some recognition.

We dont need your pity. As far as religious and ethnic minorities go we've had a prosperous run and ended up much luckier than most. We're the inheritors to a legacy of scholarship, architecture, and exploration that stretches back further than almost any other. Even when it was under Roman, Mamluk, Ottoman, French, British, or even Albanian foreign rule Copts have had a home on the banks of the Nile for the better part of 10,000 years.

Funny story, Mamluk Sultans were famous for ceremonially dismissing Coptic bureaucrats or civil servants under religious pretexts (often there would also be political reasons) only to quietly re-hire them almost immediately when the court's attention had turned elsewhere. Even today when sectarian conflicts are tearing apart the Middle East and North Africa, neither myself or anyone in my family has ever been made to feel unsafe in Cairo. Even the Richest family in Egypt are Coptic.

Santa Claus is only loosely based on St. Nick anyway. I'm sure the real St. Nick never even saw a reindeer. There really is no reason why you could'nt have a black Santa.

If memory serves Santa Claus as Americans know him is ultimately based on the Dutch character, which is an amalgamation of St. Nicholas and Father Christmas which was an English thing. The Dutch character is called "Sinterklass" or "Sinterklaus" or something like that and looks more like a cardinal with a huge white beard than Santa as we know him. The American Santa looks more like Father Christmas.

Father Christmas has his origins in very old folklore from the English Isles which is pagan as hell. Seems to be a common thing in Christian white people culture; take something somebody else made, appropriate it, then be all like "no we totally came up with this on our own!" Santa, like many things Christmas, is really a pagan thing in the end and not Christian at all. Christmas itself isn't even in the right time of year if you go by when Jesus was born. There's also no actual record of his birthday.

In a way it's white people appropriating white people culture but it also shows the friction between Germanic pagan stuff and Christian Europe doing its thing. Which is bizarre when you consider that white supremacists consider Germanic peoples to be the best when the origins of American culture, when traced back, are Italian as hell thanks to Rome and its shenanigans.

Hi Negrotown thread. This has happened before in the old feminism thread. Please do not underestimate how dangerous this poo poo can be. A friend of mine was stalked for the crime of posting while female and had to delete her Facebook and Google+ accounts to protect herself. Something similar will happen to you if you are not careful. Please stay safe.

So I take it this is supposed to harass the black posters back into staying silent while some forums user(s) can go back to indulging in unironic racism and bad faith arguing without feeling threatened?

Ehhhhhhh...Coke likes to claim that, but they kind of overstate their case. This is an actual cover from a magazine from 1902:



I love that Saint Nicholas of Myra probably looked like an olive-skinned, dark-eyed Eastern Mediterranean dude (since that's what he was), and therefore most racists would probably assume he was a terrorist.

I was referring more to the issue of white-Santa and the history/origins of the tradition being from what is considered nowadays to be the "white" part of the world, despite all of those parts of the world the tradition has hopped between historically not really identifying strongly with eachother outside of religion and having cultural elements that have at times overlapped but have for the most part been distinct, and with the peoples also considering themselves to be distinct rather than some kind of cultural monolith. And the issue of appropriation being what I think is a terribly tribalistic approach to notions of who is entitled to be influenced or affected by culture.

Then you have a very poor understanding of cultural appropriation as a concept, and I'd strongly advise you to do some reading before you come in all judgmental. We'll let you know when we next have a shortage of people who have very strong opinions about stuff they're only vaguely familiar with, but at the moment, there's a bit of a queue.
