Let’s just say that as the general perception of Christians everywhere is correct and the historical figure of Jesus was in fact the son of some sort of ToothFairy style monster. That being the case, given that Jesus, aka Pappy, was the son of a preacher (table maker) man from a Middle Eastern country, why is he a white dude in churches and shitty Christmas straight to TV mini series around the world?
Just who are you?
Jesus?
Jesus?
Dad?
I’m calling and saying that Jesus was some sort of ethnic dude or possibly the Loch Ness Monster.
That doesn’t follow your first stipulation. You seemed to be running with the idea that He was the son of the Christian God, not a Jewish carpenter. If so, then he could potentially have any set of features. However, I don’t think there’s any strong indication from Biblical authors or contemporary historians.
He obviously wasn't an Ashkenazi Jew.
I believe Adolf Hitler claimed that Jesus was of Celtic descent since the Romans had legionaries from Gaul garrisoned in Galilee... :hitlerdan
If you're still going with the Biblical account though, then Mary had a solid Jewish bloodline. It's not unreasonable to assume that her son looked like her.

Because Da Vinci and Michelangelo depicted Him that way?
Most likely.
If His crew was fibbing then it sure bit 'em in the ass, eh? I bet they had a hard time keeping a straight face when they saw those lions…
