He was described in Revelation as having darker hue skin and wooly hair.

I believe him to be olive skinned and ethnic Jew considering location.
I think a lot of people are averted to this idea.

It's a very typical human squabble to argue over the race of the literal human saviour.
Lemme say though I don't believe in bibilical Jesus myself I don't think he'd personally care what race you chose to depict him as because he represents all of them.
The only reason black Jesus is rather thorny for me is because it's simply a political message and you couldn't stand the idea of a benevolent white person
For the record despite Jesus being depicted as looking more my skin tone this doesn't condone Shaun King calling for white depictions of him to be sabotaged as ok.

That's just an attack on Christianity as far as I'm concerned.
I have my criticisms of Christianity but once we get burning churches I tap out.
Sorry not here for that.
