Well, I think that's the point...Jesus' ethnicity was never mentioned in the bible, but where was he from? Jesus wasn't a honky, end of story. Yet to this day, he is portrayed with light skin, blue eyes and flowing hair. I'd be pissed too if I were Rufus. Actually I AM pissed because I still have issues about a really kick ass charcoal drawing I did in catholic school in 9th grade which was how I had pictured the virgin and child. It was really one of my best drawings ever (not trumpeting my so called talent, but something I was proud of at completion). I got an F on the project for portraying "OUR SAVIOR" in such a negative light. It is apparently heresy to try to accurately portray the ethnicity of Jesus, and denounce the "whitey" christ :) (By the way, I'm pasty white irish, but FUCK YOU SISTER JANISE)
