    Because many haven’t? It’s not like people in medieval europe could take a quick trip with ryanair from tel aviv to berlin lmao. Black people in central europe were rare enough that many people have never seen one in their life. Most of them were around the borders of todays southern europe.

      I can already tell you’re not at all well versed in this topic. Have you heard of a concept called trade mate? Did you know that before the Roman empire even existed a network of trade and safe passage was made that could traverse from China to the furthest western point of Europe including India, the steppes and African trade (east coast). Also you keep going back to 'black people" like wtf is this discount American eugenics take. Bro the religion is middle eastern, people knew what they looked like, there’s thing thing called art and sculptures which help those who never seem one understand what they look like. But none of this even matters you turned into a race thing, it was a cultural shift, the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn’t really take off till the 20th century (white jesus) Just another fat L, Tel Aviv wasn’t a thing back then, tf you choose that awful fucking city full of earth’s worst people. call it by it’s real name. Jaffa

        This is fundamentally incorrect, and I can prove it - better yet, someone else already has in these comments.

        Yes. That’s why I have never said that nobody has ever seen one. Just that it’s a rare occasion.

        Also you keep going back to 'black people" like wtf is this discount American eugenics take … But none of this even matters you turned into a race thing

        Because the initial post I responded to was literally “Why he white tho”. I didn’t start the war.

        Bro the religion is middle eastern

        Catholicism is not middle eastern

        the 14th century did a white jesus start coming up in some obscure art and didn’t really take off till the 20th century

        Factually untrue - white jesus has already been a thing in the 4th - 6th century - even tho a lot less common. However, agreed that most depictions of white jesus are from that time - which does not change my point at all. They had no way to quickly travel during the renaissance.

        Tel Aviv wasn’t a thing back then

        No really? Crazy. Do you think ryanair didn’t exist back then either? :o

        It’s almost as if I tried to make funny comparison, not a factual argument.
