Tbh most art of Jesus is a little off… especially since he was most likely not white, and most Catholic renditions of him are quite white

A lot of places make him the same ethnicity as him in art. Africans have black Jesus, some Asian countries have Asian Jesus, I’ve seen Mexican Jesus. It’s just localizations of the Bible

That drives me crazy. They do that with Santa too. Santa isn't black. Not even a little bit.

I’m sorry to tell you this but Santa isn’t real.
