Don Lemon of CNN says that Jesus wasn't White. Do you agree?

Jesus was a Jew from the Levant. He would have looked like other Levantines, Greeks, Italians and Spaniards. Under US Census data, all Mediterraneans are White. What is Don Lemon talking about?

Caucasian and white aren't quite the same thing. A person can be very dark of skin, but if their eyes do not have an epicanthic fold, and if their hair is of the straight variety, they are classified as Caucasian. People from India are considered to be Caucasion, as are most Hispanics, and so on.

This picture of how Jesus may have looked was featured in Popular Mechanics magazine:

Please note that the medical artist created this portrait as a composite of three skulls from the same area where Jesus was born, and that many of the men of that area were similar in appearance...so, while this is definitely NOT Jesus he would have appeared similar. I am sure he was much more handsome...LOL!!!
