Just a question

Nobody ever said he was white. Being Israeli he probably had darker skin than typically depicted

For better or for worse, people ordinarily depict Jesus as being the color of their own population. In Western iconography, Jesus is typically white because the population is white, but in Ethiopian Orthodox iconography, Jesus is typically black because the population is black. People tend to care more about depicting Jesus as relatable than depicting him accurately.

That's a pretty good way to put it

👍

not jewish I mean Israelite

Idk

wait I thought Jesus was brown

He was described as having golden skin

He should be since he is Middle Eastern ❓

He was described as having golden skin and long, stringy hair

The romans kept excellent literary records of important events.

He's depicted as white because he was based on the looks of an English kind, I believe. It was so popularized, that this is just how we as a society imagine him to look. And, Rennesaince art was mostly created by white people.

oh

An English King*
