It's a fact of history that artists made a living by painting religious works just because they had a buyer in the church, which was European. Therefore, Jesus was depicted as white because the people who bought the art were Caucasian.

Always? I highly doubt it...I've hardly seen a picture of a white Jesus...if by white you mean European. Anyways, he came for the Middle East...so he had brown hair, brown skin and brown eyes.

Jesus was a Palestinian Jew, which would make him a member of the white race, although he probably didn't have blond hair and blue eyes.

The first thing you want to do is determine whom you mean by "they." If you find that "they" are all white, you're well on your way to having an answer.

Primarily because the artists were white and they were drawing (painting) him to sell their products to whites.
