You have to be overly sensitive about race to turn a mythical figure and the Savior of all mankind into a color that matches your skin.
Eh, I don't know. I think it's natural that absent anything else, cultures would develop a default perception of Jesus that resembled themselves. That's how the European image of Jesus arose in the first place.
Jesus is Jesus. He could be purple for all I care, he's still my Lord and Savior. I don't deign to such levels as to claim possession of him, or try to make him into my image. That's not who Jesus is/was, nor is that what he teaches. When you twist Jesus into something apart from what he taught, you are worshiping an idol of your own making, not Jesus.
The 2nd Commandment clearly provides, "thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."
