was jesus a latino? Plenty of people have told me so, which i really do not believe. It does not make sense. No one inhabited the Americas until the 1600s. He could not have been a Spaniard because he was the descendant of King David. It does not make sense to me that he was a Latino. I think he was either a Sephardic Jew or a Ashkenazi Jew.

well you have been fed a lot of bad information. Native Americans lived here way b4 the 1600's He was a Jew from the tribe of Judah. These of whom you speak are of the Israelites or nothern 10 tribes and many have no genetic relation to Jacob at all.
Jesus was decended from Jacob on His mothers side. Through Judah, Jessee etc. (Rith, Ester so an so)

I don't think it really matters. Based on the evidence, he was a Jew, but as to which branch, that remains unsolved. Jews of Sephardi and Ashkenazim are a result of many centuries of developing rich traditions in opposing countries. Ashkenazim Judaism, for example, was the result of migration of Jews in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Khazar Empire. The term Latino really derives from descendants of Spaniards/Portuguese colonists who inhabited South America and intermarried. But to answer your question, the two main branches of Judaism had not yet fully formed in his time.

The first humans came to the Americas 10 000 to 12 000 years ago. Jesus was a Jew.

All I know was that Jesus was a Jew. I've heard he was a Middle Eastern man also, though. I've heard a lot of things about Jesus' race.

Jesus was Semitic of Jewish descent. He was a Jew and his human ancestry was Jewish all the way back to Abraham, who came from modern day Iraq- can't remember which. Abraham was the father of the Jewish race.

A semite, which looks a little Latino, except the hair is curlier and they can grow big bushy beards!

yes he was not a Latino, but you also have to see that all cultures see there gods in the same race as them, it makes it easier to connect with them, just as here in America people have turned his depiction into a white man, and in Africa he is black, i say:
Live and let live.

There were no latinos at the time. There wasn't even a Spain.

I was thinking about making some joke about the story of "The Fishes and the Tortillas" ...
But I won't.
