Jesus was considered a white man as are most Jews
Well, except the source quoted by ned states 'caucasian'. This is understood in America to mean white people. However, caucasian is not necessarily white, as the term was used to try and describe Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia.
Jesus was most certainly not white, as in white like me, but that is how Jesus is presented in most churches. Most likely he was olive-skinned, much like the middle easteners are.
