Its why the authorities do not want to disclose. If you knew it would destroy everything you have been lead to believe. Point in thought. Why do you believe Jesus is a white man when you know he was not.

White Supremacists tend to view anyone Semitic as "non-white".

I don't think it's necessarily white supremacist to observe that
someone's non-tanned color is significantly darker than a northern
european.

Arabs may be in the "swarthy" category, and there are Sephardic Jews, but it is 
White Supremacists who view *Ashkenazic* Jews as non-white, and I don't think 
they have much company in that.

He did say *anyone* Semitic, not just _some_ people who are Semitic.

Further, that non-tanned color may not fade very much if the tan is long 
term.  I was rather surprised at the paleness of the first Iranian that 
I met personally.  And Alexander Siddig wasn't notably darker than his 
American and British contemporaries on Deep Space Nine.  He did get much 
darker when he started playing Arabs, however I wonder how much of that 
is makeup.

Near- and Middle-easterners are, in fact, white.  They live in a
sunny climate and tan readily.

The Song of Solomon contains the lines (approximate from memory,
and there are a zillion translations anyway), "I am black, but
beautiful; do not look askance and me because the sun has burned
me."

She's saying that she's a country girl, who works in the fields a
lot, and she's darker than a nobleman's daughter who stays
indoors most of the time.

I'd also like to quote L. Sprague de Camp: "It ill behooves the
'white' man to boast of his racial purity; his descent is the
most scrambled on this planet.  Geneticists have traced at least
three genetic strains in Europeans: early hunter/gatherers, later
hunters from the Near East, and a third strain from Asia.  And
that's *without* counting the trace of Neanderthal that most
Europeans have in them.

I am mostly pale orangeish pink on the outside.  
It's possible that I am not very well.  

I recently was invited to view some of my insides, 
on television - not on grounds of colour, but What 
I saw also appears to be pink.  In case anyone was
about to ask.

Endoscopy is something I've never undergone yet.  Can't say I'm
anxious to experience it.

Occasional miracles do occur, even in Scotland.  25 years
ago I did a nine-day cycling tour in the Lowlands starting
on 9 September.  Having been to Scotland a number of times
before, I was very pleasantly surprised to find sunny
weather and 80°F (~27°C) in Edinburgh on the 8th.  It
cooled down after that -- I often started the day in a
long-sleeved jersey and tights -- but it was mostly sunny
for the whole nine days.

holes to root for sandtatties.  The waves whispered
rhythmically over the packed sand: haggisss, haggisss,
haggisss.

One has to be careful about the word "black" in non-English writings--it 
may not mean what a modern Afro-American would have it mean.  I was 
rather surprised by some of the dialogue in "Swept Away" in which 
Mariangela Melato is berating a somewhat tanned Giancarlo Giannnini for 
his blackness.  At one point she even uses a word that the subtitles 
translate as "nigger".

If he had been racially different than the crowds he was speaking to,
or the rabbis he was arguing with in the temple, we would expect that
to show up in the stories.  He is explicitly listed as the son of two
(TWO!  Joseph shows in both ancestries) Semites.

But none of the pictures show him that way.

As for the aliens, we see insectile ones that are always black.  Enemy
mine was portrayed by a black guy.

ObRelevantSF-ishWebcomic: Shortpacked! (now concluded), which in its last few
years had Historical Jesus working at the toy store along with the rest of the
gang. And boy did this get ignorant comments from the peanut gallery each time
he appeared...

Dave, srsly, folks, about a century and a half ago _Irish_ people weren't
 considered to be "white". Palestinians and Israelites are a good bit darker
 than that in general. Also see: anti-"Muslim" sentiments in current USA
 practices directed towards those who "look Muslim" rather than "white"...

Te Irish not being "white," a judgement often visited on Southern Italians
and Sicilians, and New World Latinos, with some splashover onto Old World
Spaniards, had as much to do with their not being Protestant as their
skin color.  But, if you ever doubt the racialist tendencies of anti-Irish
sentiments, go look at the political cartoons in 19th century issues of the
likes of the US "Puck" and the UK "Punch."

Are we talking real aliens (in which case you'll first have to
prove they exist), or fictional?  There were some episodes of
Star Trek TOS in which the Klingons were black (white people in
blackface; Worf, who really was played by a black actor, was in
ST:TNG).

Did any black actors complain about the missed employment opportunities?
