Subject: RE: BS: What did Jesus look like?
Jesus being represented as a white guy is an expression of racism if (and only if) you assume that there was no historical personage behind the mythography. If there was such a person, the probability is overwhelming that he was what would today be considered "white" (i.e. not "of color.") To impute "racism" to such a conclusion is itself racist. IMO.
