For the first time ever the biggest mall in the US has hired a African american/Black Santa. However, the idea of a non-white Santa did not sit well with some citizens, and was seen as unjustifiable. The retired veteran was fortunately unfazed by the comments and says he,"Ignores the negativity."
This particular news article WAS biased against the people opposing the new Santa. I did think it was ridiculous that they said that it was equivalent to making MLK a white person, and saw it as unjustifiable because Santa happens to be a fictional character whereas MLK is a historical figure. Si apparently racism is still a thing, SHOCKING. However, I do think we are making advances forward in equality because the guy was not fired despite the comments.
