I read something about it in the Wall Street Journal a few years ago. I think it had something to do with the word "white" and the image of Bing Crosby.
I looked in Yahoo music and there are versions of the song by Babyface, Al Green, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Mathis, Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Otis Redding, the Supremes, and of course the all-time classic doo-wop version by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters.

That's ridiculous. People take things waaaaaaay to seriously these days. People just need to get over themselves, take things as they come and get on with life. In my humble opinion.

The "White" in the song is referring to the snow in Vermont at the inn where the musical takes place. Rent the movie.

White Christmas doesn't have anything to do with the color of skin. It means a snowy white Christmas. Some people just love to try to stir up trouble. It doesn't work here.

Sounds downright silly to me.
The "white" referred to in "White Christmas" is snow.
People of any color, creed, or nationality might enjoy a beautiful blanket of snow on Christmas day.
What's in there to cause offense?

Sweeping generalizations are only for the narrow minded. Are white people offended by black coffee?
