Why so you assume that all people assume God is male and white?

We as people so ignorantly attempt to categorize God in physical terms to try to understand Him more. Regardless of what people assume God never claims gender because He is a Spirit and spirits are not genderized. Neither does God claim to be of any particular race, because He claims that all will be His people; all nations and tongues. The only claim that God makes on Himself is "I AM THAT I AM." God Bless.

Probably because white males have all of the power. God is very powerful.

Because white males have been the ones in power for so long. They project an image of themselves onto their god.

God is never referred to except in the male gender.
Thus, he said to his son Jesus, "Let us make man in our image"(Gen.1:26). So there is no assumption made regarding gender. It is firmly established in the first chapter.,and book of the Bible.
As regards color; all colors are variations of the first created man, just because artists in the renaissance portrayed Jesus (sickly and pale,Wrong), and Almighty God as white does not
make it true.
The attributes of created man cross all the races.
We all are creative.
We all can love.
We all cane be powerful.
We all can have a sense of justice.
We all can posses wisdom.
These are how we are 'in the image of God'.

God wears a white robe and looks like George Burns.

because we are shortsided narrowminded and scared to death about what happens next so the easiest thing to do is make something that feels comfortable,unfourtunatley i think this is also very short sighted as well,because we dont have brains capable of that potential size and magnitude (looking at the big picture) we still dont know what 98 percent of outter space is made of ,come on!!!the entity that exsists beyond my comprehension deserves my respect and grattitude,i got up this morning and took a breath thats a lot more than some can say.it is really very simple when you look at it like that.
