on another note, there are no reliable or verified first-hand descriptions of jesus besides the apocalyptic literature in the bible which describes him as physically glowing. while i wouldn't have called him "white" in the same sense as a modern european person, some people over-correct and make him too dark. the world was still coming out of the last glacial maximum (as we still are) 2000 years ago. we know there were deciduous forests in the levant during the time of moses and possibly even during jesus' day. it's clear dark skin would not have been as greatly selected for as it would be now. jesus very likely would've had olive or even fair skin and probably dark brown hair/eyes.
