Skin color is irrelevant. To try and establish any connection to marginalised people where there is none is wokeism. It's feel-good and not based in any historic fact.
Well, you sound a lot like you find skin color relevant when it doesn't fit your expectation. Historically, movies had blond Jesus and every main character was cast rather more white than historically accurate and now the trend is the reverse, where Greek characters are cast black. Both is wrong in my opinion but being used to the former, we only feel it now as being wrong.
