if you'd like to know how jesus looked, the most probable appearance would be like a jew who is native to the galilean area of palestine. i'm certain that is different than what the average arab looks like.
those middle-easterners who live nearer the mediterranean (like palestine) often have a more olive skin tone and hair that is still dark but more reminiscent of a caucasian than an eastern arab.
if jesus fit that description, then he certainly wasn't white in the European sense, but i think many would categorize a person with those features as "white" in a general sense. i say this only because many lump people into 3 or 4 groups, not accounting for the many racial varieties that exist.
