Middle Eastern people are Caucasian.
The classic 4 major human races:
Caucasian, Negroid, Mongoloid, Australoid.
It is a stretch to label Middle Easterners brown.
Jesus is brown is basically just new age progressive propaganda with a level of evidence that suits midwit understanding.
"the middle East is near Africa. Africa has Black Africans in it, therefore Jesus was brown".
But Africans didn't get much past sub-saharan Africa, and the region was less mixed then, than it is today. Lighter then, than today.
Remember Turkey, also in the Middle East, was once completely populated by fair haired people, around the same time…
