There is no major disagreement that he was ethnically Middle Eastern-Jewish, though some question what exactly that looked like at that time although there is a scholarly consensus that first century Jews from Judea were Levantine Middle Easterners.
From Revelations 1:15
His feet were like unto fine brass as if burned in a furnace.
*Plus Jesus was described as to having olive skin. There are two types of olives - green and black. Do you think Jesus was green?
Egyptians were of the Negroid race. Jesus was taken to Egypt to blend-in.
I guess this is a matter of continuing opinion. I say he was Negroid.
Now you are just being silly. Since when were black people referred to as 'olive-skinned'? Ever seen olive oil? And olive-skinned people do have a greenish undertone.

Nah! That's your interpretation, a much more sensible one is that he was taken to a place where Herod didn't rule. You ignore that Herod had no idea what he looked like and that Eygpt would have been a pretty multi-racial kinda place. You also ignore that Jesus was a Jew and say what you like about them they certainly know how to conserve the race so its much more likely he looked like the first image I posted but Osama certainly fits the white iconography of the images of Christ don't ya think.
All the oldest catholic church paintings show a black Jesus being held by his black mother.
In the Book of Daniel, it says the hair of the Messiah’s head would be “like the pure wool” of a lamb and the Book of Revelation likens the prophetic Jesus’ feet to “fine brass, as if burned in a furnace.”

He wasn't a real person anyway, so he could be blue with pink spots if you want him to be.

So what? As none of them had seen him. Still what they show is a dark-skinned person and contrary to your beliefs not all dark-skinned people are negroids.
I find myself high upon my petard.
