I read that for the second year in a row, the mall of america has hired a black man to play santa, which is great. But unfortunately, its once again led to some controversy about santas true ethnicity. Well, here to comment on the issue is our christmas correspondent, yamaneika saunders. Jimmy hi, yamaneika.

I think thats a good idea. Actually, you know what . Wait. Wait, wait. Now that i think about it, we might not have a white santa longer anymore. You know . Jimmy why . Whats up . Well, you know jimmy, its 2017. And any day now, im sure one of the elves is going to come forward ustoo. [ laughter ] saying that santa groped them, or stood under the mistletoe and whipped out his yule log. [ laughter ] jimmy all right, all right. Yamaneika, any final thoughts . Yes. Maybe this year, instead of focusing on santas skin color, we focus on what he really represents like joy, and peace, and love. And lets just agree that santa that comes down your chimney can be whatever the hell you want him to look like, you know . And in my instance, he looks like idris elba. Jimmy all right. There you go.
