Nope. He was a Jew in the Middle East during the early Roman Empire. Not too many Germanic peoples wandering around giving birth in stables in Bethlehem in that time period...

There is no evidence that Jesus' skin was any particular color.
AT MOST Mary contributed one chromosome to Jesus... many would argue that she contributed none. In the former case there are very few skin colors excluded, and in the latter he could just as easily have been purple as any other color.
So you can believe whatever you like. Enjoy!

Jesus was probably neither white nor black, but brown. Here is a depiction of a man Jesus might have resembled, in general:

Well if you don't care, why do you ask?
Jesus was not white. He is from the middle east. They are not white people. They are not black people either. They have a more olive color skin.

Honestly, I'd guess that he looked more like an Arabian. He was from the middle east. His parentage was Jewish. I don't think he looked white or black. I expect he looked like the people do now that live where he did.

No.
think about it.
Forget all the images you've seen.
He was from Galilee, In the Middle east.
What do folks from that area look like?
'nuff said.

No. Jesus was Jewish and Jewish people are of a dark color skin. Kind of the color of Arabs or Hispanics

Jesus was Semitic, which is akin to the Arab race..... so He would not have been Caucasian, contrary to all the European artists' renderings.
In any case....... it is His teachings..... His life, death, and resurrection...... that should draw people to Him. Not His race.

Jesus' skin was not white, it was a good healthy dark brown.
