As a Christian, it's impossible for me to perceive Christ without taking it at face value that he is the literal Son of God and that he was here to bring salvation. In that regard, his appearance is inconsequential. He wasn't here to guarantee better places in Heaven for those who most look like him. Salvation is universal.

In terms of historic accuracy, he probably had a darker complexion. The whole "Jesus looked Arab" thing is mostly just a bid to offend conservatives. And while I have no problem with offending bigots, I do take exception to using religion as a tool for offending people. If God is a woman, so what? If you say God is a woman to get a rise out of people, shame on you.
