How did Jesus turn from a Brown-ish guy into a white guy?

by [deleted]

I have heard a lot of people claim that realistically Jesus would have looked like this..sort of a middle-easterny-look.

How did he end up looking like this today

Greetings. Not to discourage further responses, but do check out this older answer while you wait :

Supposing the historical Jesus was a dark-haired, brown-skinned, and brown-eyed man like the Judean of his time, when did the Catholic Church started portraiting him as a blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian? by u/sunagainstgold

Hope this helps.
