Jesus was, in fact, a whale.
Whether or not his skin was white or black is something most religious figureheads debate to this day over cups of Pekan tea and moments of heated discussion at the Vatican.
But seriously, one of the main purposes in scripting the Bible appears to be the presence of a heavy window for interpretation, so that it may reach out to the beliefs of many while shunning only a discriminate few. In this sense, you can read darn near anything into the text at hand.
White or black, red or blue, pink or late-autumn beige; I do believe the purpose was to promote the message, not the image. When the opposite occurs, the focus stops being on faith and starts being on insignificant details.
A topic many tend to be very fond of.
