Jesus was a Jew, not a blue-eyed blonde or any other people group, but the Jews. Portraying Him any other way is to be denying who He was and create another Jesus. He came for all men, but He came as a Jew.

Peter said it was unlawful and against his conscience to enter into fellowship with Gentiles, but God broke through the barriers of both law and conscience to show him that all men were to be accepted as equals in the church.
