Was Jesus White or Black?

Since Fox News has created a problem for itself by saying that Jesus and Santa Claus are white I thought I might lend some clarity to the situation.

First of all, Jesus Spoke Aramaic which some people still speak today. But, one cannot fully establish his ethnicity except to say that he was related to King David who Slew Goliath. But, there could have been people of almost any race in there along the way after David. And I'm not even sure you can say unequivocally what race David was either because he could have been a mixture too.

In regard to Santa Claus, first of all Santa Claus is a mythical being. But, if you are referring to Saint Nicolas where the idea of Santa Claus came from or the pope who is sometimes associated with Santa Claus it likely could easily be established that both Saint Nicolas and the Pope appeared to be white. But, once again this doesn't rule out black or Asian or other races in there somewhere. Because one can have all sorts of things in their genetics but so slight to be recessive genes so they only show up once every 20, 50, or even 100 years or more genetically speaking.

So, does Santa Claus exist? I think one could say that Santa Claus lives in all the people that want him to. So, because of this I think it is useful to say that Santa Claus exists (even though in the end he could be white or black or more likely both and Asian too.)
