jmc said:Why is jesus white in all the depictations (sp)?
Yorkie said:Eh? 66 different books written by 50 different authors most of whom were Israelites, Hebrews or Jewish depending on the century.
Paintings of Jesus on the other hand were mainly painted by white Europeans and therefore painted as a white man instead of being Jewish.

DTES said:But there are also quite a few white jews. The phrase "white instead of Jewish" doesn't quite work.
Juan Albion said:Anyway, loads of Jewish people are darker skinned than either Michael Jackson or Dwayne and they're both black.
