And he's white!?

Jesus was middle-eastern... If he ever existed at all...

Edit: The butthurt religious downvotes have started already...

Middle Easterners are white too.

Now, would Jesus have had blonde hair, light skin, and blue eyes like a Scandinavian? Probably not. It’s more likely that he looked Mediterranean, with dark brown or black hair, olive-brown skin, and brown eyes.

He also probably had short hair.
On that note I always find it funny when men with "traditional values" deride other men when they have long hair yet they worship a dude who looks like you would have seen him on Headbangers Ball and 100% believe he actually looked like that.

So here's a joke I heard at church years ago.

Son: Dad, can I use the car?

Dad: Not until you get a haircut.

Son (after thinking on it a few minutes): You know, Dad, Jesus had long hair.

Dad: And Jesus walked everywhere he went, didn't he?

I am uncertain if this is the general consensus among Middel Easterners as well.
