Wow~ White Jesus!


I love the fact that he is portrayed as caucasian, speaking with an English accent. But then again, that wouldn't have made it very marketable, now would it?

We got so hooked on these, we watched the series over 5,6 x's lol. This link is to my fav one b/c it was also HAD HUMOR.

I could never believe Joseph's brothers would sell him into slavery w/out one brother standing up for him. But after watching this, it was believable. The one about Moses was super good also, and the prophet Samuel! Actually, they were all good other than Adam and Eve

I don't see anything in the previous post that indicates such an assumption. The op talked about marketability which has very little to do with talent and instead far more with what the mainstream wants to pay to see. There are plenty of talented actors out there of all kinds of ethnicities, but that doesn't make them marketable in Hollywood. That's the fault of the general audience, not the filmmakers: the most successful products aren't always the best ones.

Being white sure didnt suprise me.. even historians... as way back to Roman times,
like Josephus depicted him as caucasian. And even others showed him as a man with fair skin.. and others saying that be "blushed" which only a white man can do. So hiostory depicts him very well.. have we just been fed misinformation?

I believe Your comment about blushing is false. Asians, latinos, and native american people blush.

reply

All of those have lighter skin so no, comment is not false.

your post confused me, you seem to be saying him being caucasian isn't marketable but you are happy they chose white jesus? i can't imagine making him a more realistic race like arab or semetic would make it more marketable. seriously i have no idea what your post is meant to mean.

How the heck did you get THAT from his/her response?!?! YOUR kind are always seeing racism where none exists.....

reply

You are looking for offense. There is no racism here but your own. No one cares anymore. Whites aren't racist. That is the whole point everyone in the world is realising except for true racists. So stop the nonsense. Go to bollywood and ask why there are not more african actors in their movies. hmmm i wonder why.
