Caesar: You didn't go with your brother to see "The Passion"? Huey: Nope. No interest. They were so obsessed with accuracy that the people speak in Aramaic, but they still cast a white man as Jesus. What sense does that make? It's like hiring Colin Farrell to play Dolemite. Caesar: Sometimes I think if other people could hear what you say, there'd be trouble.
Jesus was certainly Jewish — but in that part of the world, at that time in history, the Jews would have looked decidedly more Semitic and dark-skinned than those nowadays in the western world, who are mostly from northern Europe and Russia. Jesus may actually have looked more like Yassar Arafat…how well would that go over with Jews and Christians today? :)
