In an effort to embrace diversity, the Mall of America has hired two bilingual Santas, an Asian Santa, and two Black Santas this holiday season.
Mall of America owner Landon Luther told Axios his goal is to create a Santa Experience that is more representative of the diversity within the community.
"There are so many cultures that celebrate Christmas," Luther says. "It's important for children to have the opportunity to visit a Santa that looks like them, speaks like them and can see themselves represented by such a positive feeling and magical figure."
