[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus was a Jew.  So he was caucasian, probably with dark hair and dark eyes.[/quote]

You know not all Semetic peoples aren't white, right?[/quote]

Not pp but then what are these non-white semitic people?
Black? Asian? [/quote]

Lots in East Africa.[/quote]
It is true that Amharic and Coptic are Semitic languages, but the cultural relationship is more distant. The way Hebrew and Aramaic speakers look is far more relevant for imagining what Jesus looked like. Also, non-Muslim Lebanese people are directly descended from Canaanites.

This is a dumb discussion and present-day Jewish people, though we don't accept the teachings of Jesus or the religion that grew around them, cam be rightfully disturbed that our real, historical ancestral population is getting claimed by pretenders.

Tldr: Jesus probably looked "white" but not Scandinavian. If Jews and Italians and Lebanese people are white then so was he. [/quote]
