Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Is this suggesting that Jesus was white, or statistically, there's a chance that he was white, or that wasn't as brown as the rest of the population, or other? Even in 2025, with decades of active migration, if you travel to India / Asia, African countries, etc. It's rare as hens teeth to find a white person in a remote community. Possibly more likely to find an albino or person with vitiligo.
It’s neither.
It’s suggesting finding a white man in the Middle East ~0BCE wasn’t impossible or even unlikely.
Asia, Africa, and India are not the Middle East. It’s not surprising to find different genetic groups in further away regions. But you can easily go to say Afghanistan and find “white people”, it’s not rare as hens teeth.
