Jesus (religion) is always depicted as someone with fair skin light brown hair and blue eyes. this is most likely very wrong. would you agree that Jesus would have dark brown hair and tanned skin like every other Jew like him?
Every culture has Jesus looking like the norm for wherever they are for instance in christian parts of Africa artwork of Jesus usually shows him as having black hair, black skin etc whereas in China and south east Asia Jesus is shown as looking like a south east Asian.

Very true. It's because they want him to be more like them, so people will accept the teachings and be comfortable; like he was one of them. Jesus was actually rather tan, (middle-eastern) with dark brown hair, and a beard. He was also a Jew, which is hard (not to me) for Christianity to accept. Perhaps they would accept it, if it was emphasized and explained more, but because of the stereotype, he seems a trailblazing of the common perception of ethnicity; white (European).
I think this is quite funny. I agree that most people that are Christians think he wouldnt look like the jews today, Im a Christian and I think he'd probably look like a terrorist.

tl;dr rest of thread. However the only passage in the current bible which describes Jesus says he has skin alike to bronze and hair like wool. Well, bronze is a dark metal, and wool is wiry and, when still on the sheep especially, quite curly. If I had to describe a modern-day race with these characteristics I'd lean toward the Egyptians/northern Africans.
i believe there was an actual offficial face mask made based off of the shroud of turin, and yes he is depicted as more tan, but when a picture of jesus is shown... most people can figure out who it is wether there tan or white

Yeah, except the authenticity of the shroud has been debated for many years, and tests have shown that it dates to the middle ages, not the era in which Jesus was purported to have existed.

naw dawg. i watched a special on the making of the face mask and they ripped off a corner which are most likley to be the only held parts of the turin cause they are turins and you hold them by the corners, so that information is also debatable but hey its the best we got isnt it?

Sure. Read some of the peer review science papers which published the results of radiocarbon and other dating methods performed on the shroud of Turin. It's actually between 1200-1400 years too young to have been placed on Jesus.
