He didn't say that. You shouldn't use quotes if it's not verbatim. He referenced not changing something that makes people feel uncomfortable as being oppression. Close, but not quite what he said. Either way, it's a silly statement, and I think your point of "being absurd beyond the point of reason is funny" is spot on.He really did say "white santa is oppression."
I guess being absurd beyond the point of reason is funny.

you must have a huge chimney.
I saw Rachel Maddow do an end of the world piece on a pipeline accident in a rural (2,000 population) town in Arkansas. The horror! She claimed they buried the pipeline and told nobody about it (but the govt. and company actually know where all the pipelines are in spite of her nonsense).
The pipeline leaked and that was detected and shut off within 15 minutes, as required by the government regulation. The company is subject to a $2.5M civil fine.
Why, it's exxon valdez all over again! Everyone bend over and kiss your ass goodbye because there's oil pipelines!
(seriously?)
Funny, I watch Rachel Maddow and I never saw her say end of the world or kiss your ass goodbye because there are oil pipelines. Maybe there are two people by that name? Or maybe Denny is sort of making it up? You know, like Santa Claus?
A fictional character can be any color. What color is the tooth fairy? And is the tooth fairy a woman or a man in drag?
P.S. Loved the bit in Malcolm X's autobiography (not in film, in book) about challenging a prison bible teacher about the color of Paul and Jesus. "He had to be black ... because he was a Hebrew ... and the original Hebrews were black ... weren't they?"
reply "Jesus was brown."
Malcolm "I let him get away with that compromise."

As for the color of Jesus (half surprised you didn't claim he was fictional as well) people have evolved over time, so someone from that region back then was probably an entirely different hue than someone today
Sure, maybe the sun wasn't as bright back then.

Someone is going to have to explain to me why I need the people I admire for a specific endeavor or for their actions to look like me. I can respect Michael Jordan for his ability to play hoops, Martin Luther King, Jr. (Named after a white man!) and Mohandas Ghandi for their work in civil rights, as well as all of the other people that accomplished great things who weren't white men for what they did, and not who they look like.
It seems to me that an inability to do so is the very height of racism: If he/she doesn't look like me, then it doesn't count.

He maxie, is satan a redskin?
