Jesus is Middle Eastern

Something that has always ticked me off is that there are people who think that Jesus was black or white. Now I'm sure some of you are saying, "Why does it matter?" "Who cares?" Well actually it matters a lot.
First of all we are taught that Jesus was half man and half God, and that he was a real man. So we all agree that Jesus was a real man, who actually lived on this planet in the Middle East correct? Okay then, therefor if he was a real man who lived in the Middle East then he must be Middle Eastern. Saying that Jesus was a real man and then saying that he was black would be geographically incorrect! If you are born in China you are Chinese, if you were born in Italy then you are Italian, if you are born in Spain you are Spanish. Do you see the pattern? And even as a Catholic I am ashamed that we try to make him look white in the Stations of the Cross because it is incorrect. It's not possible.
Then there are the people who say in reply of this is that "Jesus is all the colors of the rainbow." No! Again it is not possible, If you believe that Jesus was a real person who lived in the Middle East he would not have every color in the rainbow or every color of humans around the world. The closer to the equator the darker you are, farther away from the equator the lighter your skin is, it's just that simple.
If you don't believe this then you are contradicting yourself because if you believe that Jesus was a real man who lived on this planet in the Middle East then he is Middle Eastern, and that's a fact. What can be argued is that Jesus was the messiah or not, that is the only thing you can argue.
