Turkish which in the US is considered White.
Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas hijacked and twisted by Popular Culture.
Santa Claus was originally St. Nicholas of Myra, in Lycia, in Asia Minor (now Turkey), a fourth century (single and celibate) bishop of the Catholic Church. He lived his life preaching about Jesus Christ.
The most famous association is Clement Moore's poem, 'A Visit from St. Nicholas,' more commonly known as 'Twas the Night before Christmas!'
St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children.
One of the most famous stories associated with him is of a poor man in his church who had three daughters but no money for dowries. When the one was ready to marry, St. Nicholas put enough of his own money for her dowry in a sack and, in the middle of the night, tossed it into the home of the man. Then, as each of the other daughters came of age, he did it again.
Today, in some cultures, on December 6th, St. Nicholas leaves a bag of goodies on the doorstep; usually nuts & candies!

With love in Christ.

Saint Nicholas was the Greek Bishop of Myra which is now in Turkey. There are no definable races in humans so he was human.
