BTW, I think it's kind of funny, but mostly scary, how many Americans still represent Jesus as a caucasian with black hair and blue eyes.

Haven't Christians been fighting about that for thousands of years already? I mean even the disciples can't agree on most things. Everyone's stories are just a little bit different.
