Jesus was most definitely white at the church I attended. Like...Wonder Bread white.
Don't forget solid gold Jesus! I used to go over to a friend's house and they had a big gold crucifix with a gold Jesus hanging off of it like a rag-doll overlooking the kitchen table. It used to freak me out when I ate there.

Nothing says, "Eat up!" quite like a crucified Jew.

Nope, he's modeled after an Italian of Spanish descent:

Honestly, the left picture looks like Keanu Reeves.

Yeah. I was raised Catholic, so he was white and a torture victim.

The Lutheran church I attended as a child had the European Jesus too. The funny thing is that I remember once talking to the pastor in his office in the early '80s (he was a family friend and we sometimes BS'd in private), and he had a picture of Jesus with stylishly slicked hair on one of his bookshelves. When he saw me smirking at the picture, he chuckled and said, "Apparently, Christ wasn't quite perfect. It seems he overdid the hair mousse."

Oh man, you guys want to know something super weird. One of my English teachers married Jim Caviezel, the guy who played white Jesus and torture victim in Passion of the Christ. He attended the same church as my family a few times. That was before he was really super famous. It always cracks me up to think of my English teacher having kinky sex with Jesus.
