This whole debate is too stupid for words. Still, I wonder how the far left racist fringe would feel if conservatives said that their Martin Luther King was a white man who opposed discrimination and wanted everyone judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Santa is red....and Jesus is white

Well, if you want to go back to the original borders (for some storage reason) , he wasn't a Greek he was an ελληνικά Denying the obvious fact that he was a Turk because he lived in what is now Turkey is like saying an Apache isn't an American.

Look man, in the 4th Cen. AD no one had ever heard of the Turks. The ethic make-up of Asia Minor was changed radically when the nomadic Turks (origin more or less Turkmenestan) invaded.

They are, ethnically, very different than Greeks.

White means blue eyes and blond hair?

When did this start?

There was no such country known as Turkey when St. Nicholas lived. Moreover, Nicholas was Greek by birth (and the area of Asia Minor where he was born was Greek).

The term “Turk” didn’t even come into being until the 6th century, 200 years after Nicholas’s death. And, even at that, the people known as Turks were from an area far to the east of where Nicholas was born (in Patara, which was on the SW coast of the Anatolian Peninsula, on the Mediterranean).

I’ve often wondered why Jesus looks Italian in all those old renaissance paintings. I always picture him as a young Billy Crystal.

Did anything I wrote suggest that I need or want your agreement? If I did somehow suggest that I take it back. Nick was a Turk in the same way that an 8th century native American was an Amerindian long before Vespucci was born

[Pietro]

Then according to your "logic" St Paul was also a Turk and the Trojans were Turks. Sure.

But then who were the Turks prior to their invasion of Anatolia?

Armenians???

Parthians???

[muir_redwoods]

Just as we know the Ptolemy, Cleopatra as an Egyptian.
