I have been thinking about walking on water, and it struck me that black people have more oily skin as do Asian Indians, and many darker skinned people.
Oil floats on water, so I was just wonderig you know?

Ethnicity is a category, not an actuality.
Good luck with the walking on water - take some floaties just in case, though. Water can be an unpredictable bugger.

The walking on water was portrayed as a "miracle" meant to demonstrate Christ's divine inheritance. It had nothing to do with oily skin.
As far as Jesus' ethnicity, we might suppose it to be the same Jewish blood that ran through the veins of all the people he associated with. Except, of course, His Father was God, so that kinda changes things. Since God is the Father of all the human race, He would have no "ethnicity", but then again I have no idea what your question really is and I'm just ranting random speculations anyway.

mideastern people are genticly lightskined Africans. but that has nothing to do with being able to walk on water.
Jesus is a Jewish Rabbi that many thought was the promised Messiah to free them from the roman rule as a warloard.Therefore mabey some of the tales were a bit embellished by the writers .

jesus is the son of god, the father. he was bprn from virgin mary as a man to save the sinners from their sins in earth. do not call him ethnic. you must have to love , obey and believe the terachinbgs of jesus when he was on earth

to answer your question ......
It depends on what vantage point you're looking at Jesus from.
I'm half arab half american. Jesus is only half ethnic to me.
If you're 100% american, then yes he would be ethnic.
If you're 100% arab then no, he wouldnt be ethnic.
you see where i'm going here?

Nah, he was an alien/human hybrid - his mum was impregnated (without consent) by the 'holy spirit'
A theological 'grey' area?
