Neither. He was a Semite. Semites are the Arabs and the Palestinians, both Arab and Israeli. Mediterannean Caucasians are darker than Nordics or Slavs.

This will react some interesting questions :)

Let's see if he was born as a Palastine.

'In 135 CE, following the fall of a Jewish revolt led by Bar Kokhba BUT in 132–135 CE, the Roman emperor Hadrian expelled most Jews from Judea, leaving large Jewish populations in Samaria and the Galilee. He also changed the name of the Roman province of Judea (Israel) to Syria Palaestina named after the Philistines as an insult to the now conquered Jews.'

Unfortunatly.. no sigar there. Palestina did not come to be before the year 135 CE and the actual birth of Jezus of Nazareth(!) was born before...assumingly.

Although you never know how because all the historians and theologist are in a fist fight all the time but most historians and theologists are in common agreement thas he was from a people which later formed the Palistinians and Jews.

So definitely not european/caucasian but more brownish skinned with brown eyes like the greek or italians.

I wasnt around when the Jesus you are speaking about was around so I really cant say what color of anything on him was and all the Jesuses that I know now are Mexican and they have brown skin and black or reddish brown or dark brown hair some with green eyes and some with brown eyes although I did meet one that had bluish eyes more grey than blue tho.
The bible says he had black curly hair like sheep. And his feet were like bronze.

Jesus was black..the bible describes his hair like lamb's wool and feet like burnt bronze.(also see "the complete story of jesus" on the discovery channel!! palestine is on the continent of africa..it was the european who now called it the middle east..and what ever name they give something everyone else follows..just like the american indian(named by columbus who was lost and thought he was in the indies) now even the descendants of those people call themselves indians....also see"journey of man" on pbs...the original man was african..all others come from that original man...i doubt if God made his son to look like other than the original!!!

in reality if all yo can do is focus on whether he was white or black. then you truly missed any message he was trying to convey.. you may as well just forget it.

reason he looks like that in our eyes is because of leonardo davinci painting. he was a jew which was probably a white man.
