Likely Jesus was dark skinned as was the entire local population. In response to the thread, European leaders of the church have rewritten virtually all aspects of the origional teachings. The appearance of christ was likely changed to make the leaders seem more connected to god and his son.
just reminds me so much of the movie"Dogma", amongst the best ever made in my opinion.
