Is Father Christmas white ?

I'd piss myself if it turned out there was a God/Jesus and, up at the Pearly Gates he comes across to welcome the newbies and he turns out to be black, gay and best mates with Cliff Richard.
 
The evidence speaks for itself

I reckon he was black seeing as he was born in the middle east.

Santa is more likely white as he was invented by and for Christian westerners.

I prefer other countries grim "Santa's". Like in Iceland where the ogress Gryla eats naughty children, while her monstrous pet cat gobbles up anyone who doesn't have new clothes in time for Christmas.

They still have a present-giving tradition, but the Yule Lads who bring gifts have names like Door Sniffer, Sausage Swiper and Meathook. Door Sniffer! (I swear I'm not making this up!)

In some Alpine countries the demonic Krampus roams the Christmas markets, terrifying children. He’s sometimes pictured with a sack, which is for carrying away naughty kids to eat or drown them.

And in the Netherlands, Zwarte Piet accompanies Saint Nicholas and drags naughty children off. Rather bizarrely, he drags them off to Spain (no idea why).

Finally, in Austrian folklore the spirit Perchta roams the countryside at Christmas and enters people’s homes. She leaves a small silver coin for good children, while bad children have their bellies slit open and their innards replaced with straw. The naughty or nice list there is more a matter of life and death.

The scene in Home Alone 2 where he is watching TV in the hotel and on the TV the bloke says "Merry Christmas you filthy animal", that was shot specifically for HA2 and isn't an actual film which not a lot of people knew.
