The mayor of Nuremberg in Germany has attacked a far-right party for "openly racist" comments about a teenage girl picked to be a Christmas gift-bringer.

A member of Alternative for Germany (AfD) attacked Benigna Munsi, who will open the city's Christmas market.

The teen was born in Nuremberg to an Indian father and a German mother.

"You would laugh about it if you didn't know these guys are serious, but you could cry about this level of hostility," Mayor Ulrich Maly said.

1. Uh, wasn't Jesus born among Jewish shepherds and kings from the Orient?

4. I have it on good authority that he was White and spoke English...

6. Jesus was pretty hateful toward the Canaanite woman

because she was a different ethnicity. When she pleaded with him to help her child, first he rudely ignored her. Then he told her, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel," and compared her to a dog begging at the table. Only after she groveled enough to suit him, and agreed with his dehumanizing characterization of her, did he relent and heal her child. Matthew 15:21-28

It's so hard to keep track of these things.

...Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel at the end of Route 66.
