technically speaking. i hear he is "Asian"

Yes. Israel is in Asia. So that would make him Asian.
You could also call him Oriental since Israel is in the middle east. "Oriental" means "Easterner."

He was a Jew from the Middle East. Some people claim that he was black or Asian based on the history of invasions and trade in that part of the world. Personally, I haven't seen anything prove his race. I can't see where it really matters. Maybe one of the reasons God chose Israel and the Jews was because they don't fit neatly in a box. Some Arabs and Jews look almost white,some look almost black, some look more Asian. I know the matter has been studied through genetics and they may now know what was typical for the time. However, no one can know about Jesus specifically because we have no DNA,no pictures,not even a good physical description.

If he was born in Bethleham in Judea as claimed, then he was born on the continent of Asia, and yes he is technically Asian.

Unless you're racist, what difference does it make what the color of his skin or where he was from make?
