A college professor came under fire on social media for publishing a paper that suggests that the winter song “Jingle Bells” is racist.
Here’s my two cents. It’s a secular song that was supposed to be in use around Thanksgiving when it was first written, not Christmas. It started getting used around Christmas instead, even though it isn’t about Christmas, and isn’t a traditional Christmas song that includes any mention of anything of a religious nature in it.
It may be that the song is racist, maybe it isn’t. I’m not going to say anything else about it other than this: whatever.
