Because it seems to me that most of the Christians in this thread kinda agree that Jesus was a Jew from the Middle East. I've not seen anyone try to argue that he was Circassian. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A zoologist (or a systematist) would call them subspecies, but that causes heads to explode. The same people who went ape shit over "niggardly" can't handle "subspecies" either. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Which is PC-bullshit. We can't have an intelligent discussion on anything in academia as long as it is clouded with PC ideology. Oddly enough, race exists when we discuss BLM or when we discuss "institutional racism"-- or when those anthropologists' employers give preference or penalties to applicants attempting to enroll based on their race. They are asking us to ignore what we actually see in practice. It amazes me that we see a complete disconnect when discussing humans and any other living organism. We all know that all dogs are the same species. However, no one disputes that there are different breeds with different characteristics. Now, replace the word "breed" with the word "race." Across the world, we see expression of different traits just as we see different expression of traits in practically every higher form of life. The same people who went ape shit over "niggardly" can't handle "subspecies" either. Subspecies require a lack of genetic transfer among groups. Humanity has never worked that way. Extremes on various ends of a spectrum do not define the group as a whole. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You are arguing with a strawman. The 18th century idea of race involved three (later 4) separate lines of evolution that only more recently began interbreeding. Recognizing that this is I correct does not mean that population groups do not share traits in common. It does, however, dismiss the idea hat there is a "pure" breed/race standard, and anything else is "mixed." That, is absurd. Humans are not dogs. There is no kennel club, let alone a magical point in history, dictating breed standards. Technically some 19th century scientists made Australian aborigines a 4th “race” and there was the skull measurement “science” back then too  The Simpsons - Mr. Burns - You have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter  Attached File |

As a Christian I've always had an issue with the white surfer Jesus with soulful blue eyes.
Are they depicting the Son of God or The Dude? I wish the church in general would accept reality instead of trying to hold on to their ideal depiction. I personally find it easier to connect with him when I accept who he was, and the culture he came from, instead of trying to clean it up to fit the standard that one wants it to be. |

When I went through college, we were taught that the three basic sub-divisions of race were "Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid"-- and every other variation resulted from some deviation or admixture of those primaries. I'm quite certain that there is likely more developments to that viewpoint, and if I were in that field I would likely be up to speed on them. As it is, my choice of term from the framework that I drew from seemed to be adequate for my point. Which is PC-bullshit. We can't have an intelligent discussion on anything in academia as long as it is clouded with PC ideology.

Or cows. Or anything else that has "breeds" and variations of characteristics. At the same time, we DO see those variations of characteristics across humans of different geographical regions. We observe this. So, you are correct that we aren't dogs, but the same genetic principles apply. No "kennel club" established those principles and no one created a "breed standard." Yet, the science is there. Everyone in agricultural science understands this. We just find offense applying that same principle to ourselves. Or perhaps, we fear where that rabbit hole goes, and would rather pretend that in this case, "it is different." |

The biggest contributor to the myth that Jesus was a white guy is racist Hollywood. The same racist Hollywood that had a white guy playing every native Indian character. The same racist Hollywood that had a white guy play Charlie Chan.
Well that same racist Hollywood had white guys play middle eastern Jews in every single biblical movie both New Testament and Old. Then that racist Hollywood turns around and projects that racism on the the viewers of their racist films and claims Christians are butthurt if Jesus isn't white. Pretty rich. |

And that they described him as blue eyed and ruddy complexion. Cite sources? I know in modern Jewish took there are red haired folk. Not that it makes a shit what Christ physically looked like.
