Why do *ropeans depict holy Mary and Jesus as wh*te?

why do *ropeans depict holy Mary and Jesus as wh*te?

pretty ironic how they make fun of blacks for we wuzzery when they are much more pathetic and have been doing this for centuries.

For the same reasons Africans depict them as black maybe?

OP's painting could easily be Levantine family.

Are Levantine people white?

the original "white" jesus icons were made for barbarian germs and the style stuck

It's like Southern Europe. Some are White looking, some are brown looking.

As white as a Turk

>Africans do it
WE WUZ

>Europeans do it
So artistic and deep

It actually comes from Egypt and was made for Greeks and Egyptians.

Jesus and Mary were white

Except some people from that area of the world are White but none of them are West African looking.

Nah

Oldest Icon of Christ is from a Church is Egypt and it looks like this.

there is chinese jesus, black jesus, white jesus, this "appropiation" happens every time and it is made so the locals can identifiy with the matter easier

Just like africans we represent them resembling us because it's easier to relate. I feel like I have more in common with european people than levantines.

Still looks ME

who the fuck cares about skin color

i mean all early jesus depictions were for germans

the greeks and romans didn't need any

It looks Mediterranean (which it is) and wasn't made for Germans.

I guess Jesus looked like a light-skinned syrian man
