This question is only about features, not to prove or disprove his existence.
Please try to answer with only that in mind.
He could neither have been Chinese nor Hindu nor Namibian, right?

I believe Semite comes from Shem. Shem was Noah's son.
Hebrew comes from Eber. Eber was 3 generations down from Shem.
Shem being Semite
Eber being Hebrew. Josephus actually called him Heber.
SO YES, Jesus was decendents of Shem and therefore, a Semite.

I could answer this but no matter what I answer it will not determine how He really looked. I never set my eyes on His face so I cannot define His appearance in fact. I can say that His appearance is a probability in certain generalities, but then again He possibly could have variations which could make Him appear slightly different. All-in-all, His appearance is not an important point and is only used to discredit belief in Him. Or possibly as a point of curiosity. Either way, it makes little difference.

He could have been half Roman or half Anglo...
There is evidence to suggest that Jesus's real father was a Roman soldier. Tiberius Ben Panthera... and the grave of a Tiberius Ben Panther who was stationed near where jesus was born, at around the time He was born, was discovered mid-last century. Tiberius Panthera according the records may have been an anglo or caucasian.
So Jesus, though he must have had semitic features because of Mary...may also have had Roman or Anglo features...

If you take the other argument, and you believe that Jesus was the son of God... He could look like any race. Unless you think that god has specific Semetic features too...

Regardless of whether anyone believes he was the son of God,in addition to being the son of the carpenter Joseph who did not have sex with his wife Mary yet bore a child named Jesus, he was a Semite.

Jesus was a Jew. A Jew is a semite. Based on this, it would be an educated assumption that Jesus had semetic features.

He was a descendant of the red haired green eyed people that took over Egypt until they were run out. Jesus, in history, according to a Dragon bloodline family tree, was white with red hair and green eyes. Some of them had dark hair, but they were still extremely white skinned people. Almost albino white.
The semitic Jews were infiltrated and taken over by this race of people invading Egypt from somewhere up north in Europe.

Well, he was Jewish. He probably didn't look like the traditional image of the European Jew, and would most resemble a Sephardic Jew today, but that he was Jewish is pretty indisputable.

He probably looked similar to the people, but he has no blood lines other than God Himself. He was God in human form.
