People of middle eastern descent are considered caucasoid by social anthropologists. Thus, he was white.

Middle Easterners count as white. So I would have considered him white.

You see, everyone has a bit of white in them, and even thought Jesus might not be white racially, his cum most likely was. Just kidding.

Ok he was white.

I used to have pallistinian friends who immagrated to San francisco and I had to work with some.

They were WHITE. Almost white as snow.

And in the Bible it says Jesus's Mother "Being of fair skin"

Fair skin means white skin everyone knows that.

Just everyone back then was white some whiter than others.

Jewish people are considered white today. Jesus was a Jew. Therefore, by the standards set in today's world He would be considered white when He walked on the earth. However, He is God and God cares about the heart, not the color of the skin.

Let's think about this: No-one living today existed 2,000 years ago, when Jesus was presumed to have been born, therefore, no-one can honestly say that they have physically seen him as a white OR black man. Photography wasn't even heard of at the time, so no pictures could have been taken of him. Adding to that, relying on 'drawings' of Jesus is a pointless cause. These drawings could simply have been the interpretation of Jesus from one man's/woman's point of view.

Consider the following problem: If the virgin Mary was white, how could she biologically give birth to a black child? If the virgin Mary was black, how could she have biologically given birth to a white child? My point in this is that we cannot even tell which exactly Mary was, therefore, it is even harder to guess which exactly Jesus was.

One thing that is easily noticed among religions is that they depict Jesus as a white man. To emphasize this, Jesus was dubded the son of God, who was also depicted as a white man. Consider this next problem: If Jesus was the son of God, would that mean that he would be identically coloured to God. And if so, would that be influenced by Mary's DNA, or would Jesus simply be portrayed as an identical child of God?

One theory suggests that Jesus is the physical form of God (God as a mortal man on Earth). This again circles itself in more questions.

To be honest, and personal, I would say that it is impossible to know. Of course people can tie this to the fact that Jesus was born as a Middle-Eastern man, and that he should therefore be of similar appearence to Middle-Easterns, but looking back at my previous argument, how do we know that he was not of identical appearence to God, and if so, would he be fully white, black, or a mix of the two?

This is an incredibly sceptical debate, which in my view, cannot be accurately answered.

Jesus was from the Middle East. Generally, people from the Middle East have a Middle Eastern complexion. (duh.)

he was most likely a tan white man since he was out in the sun a lot of the time

As long as it makes you live spiritually comfortable, the color it's up to you.

Even "white" people aren't white. By my reckoning, they appear to be a yellowish pink.

I don't believe Jesus was yellowish pink. Considering the climate, his skin was likely more heavily pigmented.

Now if you are asking about his racial identity...well, I have some bad news for you about that as well. Race is a sociological construct, not a biologic fact. There is no White Race, no Black Race, no Red Race, and no Yellow Race. The fact is, there is no such thing as "race", biologically speaking.

Today, most scientists reject the concept of race as a valid way of defining human beings. Researchers no longer believe that races are distinct biological categories created by differences in genes that people inherit from their ancestors. In fact, there are more biological differences within a supposed racial group than there are between people of various racial categories.

But, ya sure. Better your god be white, like you, right? White folk ain't' gonna be worshiping no sand nigger now, are they?

he was olive skinned, like the Ahmadinejad. you can probably compare his skin to alot of mexicans that you would see on the streets of america today.

Nope.

Not sure of the exact tone of his skin. Probably pretty dark but I mean, he was no European.

He was olive skinned he was neither white nor black he was actually mediterrainean.

It's hard to tell because I don't really know about the migration patterns that have occured since.

However logic and reason would tell me he was not european - but at best fair skinned.

Obviously not.

It is fucking funny how Europeans for all these years have worshipped somebody who's technically a middleeastern.

:D

My guess is he never existed, and this story is a new version of the old story of this Egyptian god who was also immaculately conceived of a virgin, whose Earth father was a carpenter, who went around healing people, and who eventually died for other people.

Lot's of coincidences there, not to mention that group of people from whom Jesus supposedly came would have been slaves in Egypt at the time of the stories about this other Egyption god.

And the fact is, we can't even keep our history straight for a decade with the internet, they were just all telling eachother shit, none of that silly book was writting until around 500 CE

Logic tells me he's an old wives tale people decided to take a bit too seriously.

That said, if anyone cares, there were tons of people named. "Yeshua" or whatever his real name is (I'm going on memory) before Europeans mistranslated and turned it into Jesus. It meant "the way" or something, and you know how moms get about their first sons.

So there were tons of Jesus's running around at that time. Sure, maybe one was actually crucified, why not.

But if one of them was, he wasn't magical I'm pretty sure, just some dude.

All of that said,

He would have looked Jewish, but with a nicer tan than most American Jews probably.
