Not at all. A real person really has to be portrayed in their image to be credible; a fictional character can really be portrayed in any way the particular director sees fit.

Like I say, this is a genuine question, I am honestly curious. And seeing as you are so openly racist on here please don't come back with a cowardly response, be truthful.
There are plenty of them...

I'd be happy for it to be.
This board has a problem with intolerance and it is high time it was cracked down on.

That explains all the times Jesus was portrayed by a white guy.

In your opinion of course otherwise you are demonstrating intolerance of other people’s religious beliefs that differ from yours.

Re: #NotMyAriel
I'm being religiously intolerant for considering it a fact that Jesus is a fictional character who did not die and come back to life 3 days later?

Jesus wasn't white, there's no chance, especially with the blue eyes.
That image is reputed to be that of a Pope.
The real Jesus was almost certainly of middle Eastern descent yet we are spoonfed into believing that he's some random white bloke...

Re: #NotMyAriel
People going on about the portrayal of Jesus as a “white guy” with the virtual complete lack of worthwhile evidence one could only presume he was of Mediterranean appearance and as a Jew was lightly “ featured “ which I’d have thought was roughly the look Hollywood has usually given him ? Bearing in mind back in the day there would be few actors of any colour but white .

Re: #NotMyAriel
Jesus was definitely white. He was born at the Wood Top Inn up Accy road.
His parents chippy Joe and easy Mary, were the mixed doubles Dominoes champions three years running.

Re: #NotMyAriel
I don’t feel this is the time for a discussion on the ecclesiastical influences of the early Byzantine period when anyone bothered to attempt to draw the small time preacher 100’s of years after he mooched around the med preaching and rabble rousing . I’d still say he was likely a light/medium olive skinned guy more akin to “ white” than black .GodIsADeeJay81 wrote:Cool, so that explains why Hollywood uses the white guys.

A white bloke is/was more marketable to Europe when Rome decided Christianity was going to be the religion of choice for their Empire.

Not sure which is less important. A fictional character in a Disney story being black, or a fictional character in the church's story being white.

I was doing my best not so state the bleeding obvious but thanks for the incisive Nicean insight . To state something even more obvious the Roman Empire had few blacks,give or take mercenaries /slaves and the odd well hung Nubian warrior so the likelihood of them making the “ son of god” black was up there with Gazza leading our line next season .Enjoy your weekendGodIsADeeJay81 wrote:I'll help you out.

Re: #NotMyAriel
It's funny how some of the people who really enjoy mocking people for their silly little outrages get very defensive when the people getting mocked are racists and reactionaries.
