I've been and the only white people I saw there was tourist. Jesus walking forty days and forty nights through the desert sun................come on no spf 40 then. Isrealites were his chosen people yet they are all black. Why would a white Jesus only choose them if he was white. In the bible it says his skin was as if burned in a furnace. Hmm........I only realized this after traveling all over the areas the bible says he traveled and no white people. And Jewish people I saw many black jews there also.

Because the majority of Arabs are Caucasian, although they may be a bit darker than your typical European.

Because the movies (especially in the 1950s) were being made by white people for a white audience. The studios wanted to make money from them and didn't want the audience to reject the characters because they didn't look like them. It's all about money.

Ancient Egyptians, nor the Pharaohs were White either.
