It seems that Christians through the years have morphed Jesus into a super white dude. However if you look at the region Jesus came from, he would've most likely looked like what a modern day Arab does today. Why do white people always have to screw stuff up!? What do you think?
PS I'm not a Christian, however I believe Jesus existed, but only as a non white man.
PEACE.

Well, considering they didn't have power tools for carpenters back then, I'd imagine he'd be muscular. Tough. He could have hair like lambs wool, curley. Probably dark from all that work in the sun, splittin' logs, shaping timber before refining it in the shed. Probably callused hands with several scars from accidents with sharp tools. Don't forget, he had to always be resharpening all them saws, chisels and stuff, till he left home. I would guess he was tall, rugged, a homely face. Besides the prophets hint that he wasn't much to look at, perhaps so he wouldn't be a distraction to those caught up in physical beauty.
And a smile from deep in the wells of his soul.
I too believe in him, though am not a Christian.

He would have been brown or black. The reason that he appears white is because back in the days it was considered an honor to latinize someone. So they changed his name to Jesus Cristos and made him look like the other white men they once reverred. They also did similar things with Asian philosophers which is why Confucious name is known as Confucious rather than his real confu-tzu or something like that.

we do not understand precisely how JEsus appeared, yet like all heritage books, we could have an concept of ways maximum folk dressed and appeared in at present. Jesus would were a familiar Jew of His day. The Bible makes it sparkling that He became not good searching, yet love emanates from Him, and this is the interior individual who concerns, not what we seem as if on the exterior.

Many people talk like they lived back then and knew Jesus and
His disciples personally. Jesus was born in Nazareth. But people
of other nations lived in that part of the world at that time.
Most likely, being a Jewish person. He had a brown skin, as is
what people in that area of the world typically had, in that
day.

If Jesus was as appallingly pale as he's been depicted over the centuries, he would have had to spend most of his life hiding in the shade, and praying to God to invent sunscreen...
Much to fundamentalist Christians dismay, Christ would have looked more like Sadaam than like George Bush!

As there are no white people of origin from Nazareth, He is obviously not white.
