    Megyn Kelly under increasing pressure in 'Santa is white' row: Critics round on Fox anchor again after her claims that comment was meant tongue in cheek

    Megyn Kelly under increasing pressure in 'Santa is white' row: Critics round on Fox anchor again after her claims that comment was meant tongue in cheek


    • Megyn Kelly was a no-show for The Kelly File Thursday night
    • She returned Friday to address critics of her controversial statements about the color of Santa's skin
    • She said the 'humorless' detractors didn't understand her 'tongue-in-cheek' comments
    • MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry hit back with an open letter to Santa, accusing Kelly of creating a racial divide
    • On Wednesday she said that both Santa and Jesus were 'verifiably white'
    • She was widely derided for the statements made during a debate about an article that suggested a more inclusive symbol of Christmas be created
    • Kelly said the reaction was proof that there's a knee-jerk instinct to race-bait

    He is white why does America have to make everything about race.This poor girl although very stupid and Barbiesque is actually right he is white so why are people getting upset...

    Why are people offended that Santa is a white Northern European man.

    St. Nicolas was Greek. Because of the crisis Greeks are now too poor to be considered white, so they are back to being brown like they were under the Ottomans.

    Jesus was from modern day Israel, but he was unemployed and spent his time stirring up unrest. So probably Palestinian.

    Right on target.

    Since we are doing some Racial Justice for fictional character based on 5th century BC Pagan mythology, I am going ahead to say : Why is Zwarte Piet always some black dude ?

    I remember listening to a Podcast from that Bush Attorney John Who(?) on www.ricochet.com, and He was telling a story of when as a young student He got a job of being Santa for a Kids Party, only problem was that He is Korean so the kids asked their parents when in the Hell was the actual Santa coming lol

    Seriously?... on a Total War forum?,... you planning a sequel?.. Total War: Christmas?

    And besides Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, or Nikolaos of Myra, was a greek from modern day Turkey.. meaning he looked kind-of brownish. It was only later adopted by northern european mythologies and became associated with the North. Jesus wasn't white either.. he was a Jew from ancient Palestine. Looked kind-of brownish too.

    And who cares?.. Why do you give a damn what the 24hour propaganda machine that is Fox, says?

    And seriously?.. Total War:Christmas?... Really?..

    Explain to me again, Megyn, how a fictional character based off a historical person is strictly supposed to be any sort of skin color? I mean, I get it, St. Nicholas was Greek and we view Greeks as White and European and the founders of classical civilization, but what does that have to do with Santa? Plus, Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew, but Megyn says he's white too. In that case all Semites - Jews and Arabs - are White. They're already considered "Caucasian."

    I honestly have no problem with a black Santa. I saw one at my school when I was a little kid and didn't see a problem with it then. Isn't Santa supposed to be magical, anyway? He can transform himself like a chameleon, right?

    @Sutekh: thanks for sharing the Daily Show clip!

    Well, the original St. Nicholas was probably brown, given his origin.
    What's annoying about it is all the PC fuss. Apparently many people make their money by constantly looking for stuff that might potentially be "offensive" to whatever minority is en vogue, and then instigating a witch hunt.

    Jessica Williams was funny for once.

    Yay!

    Normally she only makes me feel awkward and bad for her.

    Although I'm with Megyn Kelly on this. Jesus and Santa were "white". You can't just make people "black" because it's convenient. And Penguins would be horrible gift bearers because they don't have hands and they live at the South Pole...

    Learn Geography Black America! South Pole has Penguins, not just Korean clothing.

    FOX and the right wing media just needs something to do for the base and the 'War on Christmas' is red meat for their bots its about silly as the selfie-gate thing

    This would mean something if Santa were at all non-fictional.

    St Nick seems real enough, but Smyrna is some way from the North Pole.

    true, but if you want ot get really picky he was based on St Nicholas who was Byzantine Greek. Jesus was semitic, so looked *dundunduuunn* ARABIC! (Or jewish ofc, but having fox news say Jesus was an Arab which would be technically correct would be so epic)

    actually Santa can be any colour you like because he is completely fictional he came from Sinterklaas a Dutch tradition that took parts of the tales associated with St. Nicholas' but was still completely made up...
