Oh you think Jesus is white?

^Fox News' Megyn Kelly says "just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to change. Jesus was a white man, too. He was a historical figure. That’s a verifiable fact — as is Santa. I just want the kids watching to know that. My point is, how do you just revise it in the middle of the legacy of the story and change Santa from white to black?"
What? Hello? Jesus wasn't a white man.. Jesus was an Israeli man.. A NAZARENE, to be specific. Feast your eyes upon the image of an Israeli male
Olive skin, dark hair, dark eyes, in uniform, AND holding a kitten..
Sweet baby Jesus take the wheel..NO! baby Jesus, no! you're only a child! You can't drive! *regains control* I digress.. the following image is of a white male
Oh wait, no.. that is just white Barack Obama lol see now this is just unfortunate
This is a white male
This is Santa Clause
Now if you will take notice of the pasty complexion of the white male, the white Santa, and the white Barack Obama, you may actually see that none of them fit my description of the very attractive Israeli man.
See, I don't care if Santa's black or white because hello? I'm Indian and growing up I had no reservations thinking that Santa was a rotund white man sneaking into my house through the chimney while I was asleep to leave me presents in exchange for cookies. I truly didn't give a shit about his race. "Oh, well why isn't Santa Indi"--No! You shut your mouth! That huge white man is flying all over the world and giving everyone shit! WHO CARES! WE'RE GETTING PRESENTS!
I feel entirely differently about Jesus though.. Jesus was not a white man nor was he a black man. HE WAS ISRAELI. I mean, I get it, old white men wrote the history books and drew the pictures of Jesus to portray themselves as equals to Jesus and then proceeded to raid nations all the while shoving religion and culture (or lack of) down uncivilized people's throats. I totally get it. Let's be real, had I written the history books I would have said that Jesus was an Indian woman who loved winter weather, listened to Eminem, and wore "intense" eyeliner *cough*
But it's just not accurate! Jesus was Israeli.. which as far as I'm concerned, is far closer to being Indian than being white simply based on appearance alone. Jai Ho! Just kidding.. are white people still singing that song?
Anyways, summary:
Santa gives gifts-- who cares what race he is
Jesus was Israeli, not white.
Oh.. and Israeli men are pretty damn attractive
