How can we know the complexion of a Jew from Nazareth 2000 years ago?
I say, who cares?

I could not care less how they portray Him physically. We don't know what He looked like. I doubt very much it would be historically accurate that He was black, as He was a first century Jew. But, really, if people carry Him in their heart, I don't care how they *see* Him.

I am with you....It doesn't matter.
That said logically, he was most probably pigmented similarly to others native to that region. Thus not European or African or Asian, but Jewish. Yep, my Savior was a jew (what would OBL say?).
But to me, it is so much rubbish to worry about the skin color of the Son of God who died for my sins. I am just thankful he did.

Agreed.
Nothing is less relevent than the color of skin Jesus wore when He walked the earth 2000 years ago.
