What race was Jesus Christ?

[Bionicle of War]

Christianity is practiced in some form by people of many different cultural and racial origins, but most Christians portray Christ as one of their own. Chinese Christians draw him as Chinese, Indian Christians draw him as Indian, Ethiopian Christians draw him as Ethiopian and so on. But what race was did the historical Jesus belong too? More importantly, what would be the implications of Jesus's race for a truly universal religion?

Whatever race he was, he's my nigga.

We know what race jesus actually was because of the location the whole jesus situation happened in. Roman occupied Middle east-ish area. Chances are he was the "sometimes counts as white" variant of middle easterner given the fact he was a jew. Artistic depictions of jesus are more based on local cultures and aesthetics than history but some people don't get that.

I think denominations might get in the way of a universal religion, long before acceptance that Jesus was brown would become a thing.

Irish. And black.

How do you confuse Jesus Christ with the Sister of the Woods with a Thousand Young?

He was a Galilean jew. Back in 2012 some anthropologists made a simulacra based on forensic reconstructions of the people at the time, here's a Popular Mechanics article about it released at the time. I'll include the picture below for those who don't care to read it.

Well...he would have been blacker than Halle Berry...and this perhaps answers why the Jews wanted to kill him also...
