Been happening since forever. Jesus was a dark-skinned Middle-easterner. It's funny that in nearly every story over the world of people who have claimed to seen Jesus in a miracle, he appears as their own race!
- rglullis 4y agoThere is a difference between making projections of mythical, transcendental figures and outright retconning a character just to support a certain narrative. We can not prove anything about Christ's appearance and Christian values do not change based on that. So it's only natural that people will represent Him as they are used to see their own people. It is a whole other game to change the description of a character with a well-established description and a set context.
