NOTE FROM CHRIS:
There’s been a bit of a kerfuffle in
the news lately as to whether Santa Claus
(a fictitious character) is actually white.

Have no fear, HumorLabs is here

The Top 20 Signs Santa Claus Isn’t White
- He whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: "Now Dasher-san! Now Dancer-san!"
- Puts on whiteface to go trick-or-treating as George R.R. Martin.
- Constant use of the word "Ho."
- This year, every present comes with an egg roll and your choice of fried or steamed rice.
- He bowls worse than Obama.
- He’s on the US State Department’s "No Fly" list.
- All the presents he brought smell suspiciously of curry.
- When you play "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" backwards, it’s "La Bamba."
- On his iPod? Nothing but Luther Vandross.
- "… and to all a good jihad!"
- Changed his name to 50-Santa, wears a sideways baseball cap, and raps "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Kwanzaa."
- Whitey can’t get stuff so good it makes reindeer fly, dig?
- His birth certificate says he was born in Kenya—- er, I mean Hawaii.
- Won’t let Mrs. Claus leave the house without her red crushed velvet burqa.
- His pay is 75% of what that snow-white Easter Bunny makes.
- Red velvet? Ermine trim? Patent leather belt and boots? Let’s face it, that’s a pimp suit.
- The cast of "Friends" get coal in their stockings every damn year.
- Ever since "Stop and Frisk" was implemented, there’s a long delay as he tries to make his way through New York City.
- The only thing he left under the tree last year were blocks of ice and whale blubber.

- Skips the cookies and milk, but cleans out the fridge of hummus and pita bread.
