Sounds a bit tricky, as modern depictions of Jesus date from the late 15th Century, and Serapis Bey was invented in the 1870s.

I'm speaking of the "pretty boy" He's usually depicted as lately, But if you're going back to 15th century, then he's most likely modeled after the "Ashkenazi Jew" which are of European descent.

That's right. God is a white man and his DNA is so powerful that Jesus didn't look a bit ethnic.

Jesus was whiter than Vanilla Ice in the few churches I ever had the 'pleasure' of visiting.
