Yes... but at the time Jesus was born Earth was further away from the sun... so the Middle East wasn't the dessert wasteland that it is today. And as the Earth moved closer to the sun thier skin pigment adapted to the increased Utra-Violet radiation.
And because now most of us live our lives indoors in climate controled/neon light bliss... our skin has become more and more sensitive to the sun. We've become more pale and pasty. That's evolution.
And as we've become more white so has Jesus. It's a shame.
