I know where He was born but I mean his nationality.

Of course he was a Jew, but that is a religion (and a familial tribe).
As for nationality, he would have been a citizen of Roman occupied Judea (having been born in Bethlehem or beyt le'chem - house of bread).
The fact that he lived in Nazareth (in the northern country of Israel separate at that time from Judea in the south) would not have made him a citizen.
However, I'm sure Jesus would have considered himself a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven...

We really do not know, he might have been a Greek as he knew the thoughts of the Greek philosopher very well as he very often use the very same words as they did in their writings 400 years ago. He wasn't a Roman citizen, that's for sure. At that time the Greek were described as blond and with blue eyes.

He is supposedly a hebrew, but who truly knows.He did not even speak hebrew to what I am led to believe.He spoke aramaic.And jewish is not a nationality.It is a citizenship that manifested into a closed society that belongs to thier own.Someone told me they were called jews because they lived in jerusalem.Like how I am an american, but that is not my nationality.

JEWISH is not a nationality for gods sake
its a religion
Based on where he is supposed to have been born he was most like Middle Eastern or possible even black
He was not a blue eyed, fair skinned Northern European by any logical assumption

He was half Lucratliqan and half Jkrtyiaw. The Jkrtyiaws (from the second quadrant of the 7th interdimensional subspace) were on their way to vaproize the Milky Way when one of their soldiers, Vargus the Patient, stopped to take a leak on Lucratliqa. There he met the beautiful, Shgrya, and they had a child. That child grew rapidly while on the trip to the Milky Way. Well, the rest of the story is familiar so ... I won't go into it.

He was Jewish. At that time, that area of the world was under the control of the Roman Empire, so I guess you would say that he was of Nazareth, but under the rule of Rome. Is that what you wanted?

if you know where he was born, then you should know his nationality (which NATION) he was born in (and there are different takes on the exact location since some say bethlehem, some judea, others say galilee, some say nazareth).
if you mean what was his religion , he was jewish.
obviously, this whole business confused me.
