. So much depends on whether it's (a) really Santa and (b) Santa is really 'black', or just covered in soot. The association of black with 'drunk and couldn't drive the sleigh' seems unfortunate, as it does with 'doesn't even have a job'.
Read a bit closer please: Black Santa is a stand-in for the real Santa (who got too drunk to fly the sleigh). Thus there is no association of "black with drunk and couldn't drive the sleigh". And it's also the real Santa who "doesn't even have a job".
Just wanted to clear that up.
