Jesus probably looked like an Arab with medium dark skin.

Logic leans a lot farther toward darker skin and black hair rather than light skinned and blonde hair.

The genetics of those who reside in the Middle East has changed a great deal in the last 2000 years. Look at the demographic changes that have taken place in areas around this country in just the last few decades. It is unlikely that Jesus looked like an Arab or a black man. He likely looked like someone of Jewish ancestry since that is what he is actually known to be. Put a beard and long hair on Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Rudd, or Adam Sandler if you want to imagine a more accurate likeness.

“Jesus probably looked like an Arab with medium dark skin.”

All throughout the Mediterranean area including Spain, Greece, Italy, The Levant, they are “Olive” skinned. Is is normal even for Arabic tribes.

The most beautiful women I have ever seen were from Greece or Italy with Olive skin and GREEN eyes. Same with Jewish and Arabic peoples, many have Olive skin and Green eyes.

We do NOT know what color the eyes or skin of Jesus actually were no matter how he has been depicted... Nor will we ever... Prove racist stance or take a hike. It is a nothing burger nonissue.

Except to someone who is racist...
