"I always thought it ironic that Jesus is depicted as a white guy. He must have really stood out in the Middle East, where he would have been the one and only white person around (except for the Roman occupying troops, maybe..hm...virgin birth?). "

Romans weren't white :/. In my Anthro 335 coarse we read a report that their closest genetic stock is actually found in the areas outlying Spain, and of all fucking wonders, in Cuba. In any case, whether the report was representative of the reality or not, they were tiny brown dudes. We know that from the crispies at Pompeii and elsewhere.

Jesus was black, majorly so. From what I understand, Jews of that time resembled Nubians, so they kind of resembled Skinnies, thats No. African for you non-military types.

I personally thing it was Middle Ages devoutism meeting Middle Ages ignorance which gave birth to the white Christ, but in any case, it doesn't matter. I mean, he was God, not a man. He could have come back as a three legged dog with fleas and likely I would still worship Him.
