That’s sort of the point. It shouldn’t be news. But commenters disagree. Comment sections are one the worst things that happened to the human race.

I would LOVE to see any one of these racist fuckwits DARE to mouth off to Michael Dorn. He could snap them in half with an eyelid.

Because Fox.

Right? And he is a godsdamned vet too? Does he also work at the shelter and donate half his paycheck to the local orphanage? And people hate him!

Fake made up fat guy who wears a goofy red suit that runs a toy factory at the north pole filled with elves and flies around the world in a sled towed by reindeer delivering children presents after eating cookies and milk and likes to yell ho-ho-ho. Tote’s the same as MLK jr...

Well I guess we’re really upping the ante on false equivalencies. The whole election cycle wasn’t bad enough, let’s go for broke.

I don’t know about Santa Claus, but Saint Nicholas was clearly a Klingon.

Now this is real blasphemy. SANTA CANNOT BE SEXY.

Watching this episode of Good Times as a black girl in the 70s blew my mind. The thought that Jesus might not have been a white man was frightening and revelatory at the same time.

Then you underestimate how racist the country is.

That was the past, man. You’re living in the present – 2016 – where the future moves backwards.

2016: The Year I Really Started to Hate White People

Fuck all of this. Fuck everything. Idris Elba should be every Santa, everywhere.

Aren’t Santa’s key physical components his bushy white beard, his jiggly belly, and his twinkling eyes? What the hell does the color of his skin have to do with any of those things? What is wrong with people?

I think because it was the first time at the Mall of America.

I feel like I’ve seen lots of black Santa’s at the mall before. Why did this one make the news for some reason?

Goddamnit. I seriously can’t remember a day in the last month where I haven’t hated humanity at least once.

“Yes, that faint sound you hear is me screaming into my pillow.”
