He is literally from the Middle East. Why would he be white?

IIRC there is a passage in the bible that describes him as having tightly curly hair. Not surprising if he had a jewfro and a dusky complexion, being Jewish and from that part of the world.

He looked Middle Eastern enough. I assumed he was when I first saw it. I wasn't familiar with the lead actor Jim Cavizel at the time

He looked Middle Eastern enough. I assumed he was either that or Mediterranean when I first saw it. I wasn't familiar with the lead actor Jim Cavizel at the time

My looks are none of your business. I don't look stupid.
