Definitely not! European artists, who of course had not seen Jesus nor other races, potrayed Him as white. Japanese and Africans have also illustrated Him to resemble themselves.

This thread is about honest first thing that pops into the head responses. It's not about accuracy at all. In fact it's mostly about the ways we stereotype each other.

Aum Hari Aum!
