Why is jesus depicted as being white
| probably because of that christ movie
| Whitewashing has been going on for centuries
| Because the Catholic Church is based in Europe, where most people used to be white.
| Jeebus has been represented as a white, Italian guy for at least 1000 years. It's hard to have your god look like the brown people that your kings & popes want you to go murder in the crusades.
| Why are some Syrian people white?
Why are some Palestinian People white?
Because they are Arab which is basically white.

What else is new? The same can be said of a lot of things. Political movements, fandoms, "social justice."
When you want to spread an ideology, you modify it to be palatable to the target audience. That's just good marketing.
| See- other depictions of Jesus.
| So in early Christianity the depiction of Jesus was kinda of a no-no, just like in Islam.
The earliest depiction was in the Easter Christianity and to no surprise, they put a lot of ethnic characteristics to it, some where down the line he got the beard cause Roman like to combine gods (in this case Zeus) and everyone kept going with the ethnic matching.
| Then da Vinci show up, saw his bday and then proceeded to draw the fuck of him, then he was all like "lel this is Jesus" and so he was cause Protestants needed a white Jesus cause they were mostly situated in the north of Europe, making them the whites Europeans, then Puritans (the whitest form of Christianity) went to America with that white Jesus (which was ethnic assimilated to be more white)
| Then stuff happens, America went all independent, civil war, works war and then the second and behold now a superpower and the most cultural influencer country said "thy Jesus was white" and so it was to everyone else since nobody cares, they still got their ethnic characterised Jesus but since it was cheaper to buy image of Jesus from Americans prints and American prints just made white jesus so he spray like a virus.
And now da Vinci bf got immortalised instead of a Arab jew
