Well, that's also a character where his ethnicity is a main point of his story.
Like a black guy playing Winston Churchill might not be historically accurate, but his ethnicity is not a main point of the story.

Oof...personally I'd keep my trap shut and let my parents do to their own belongings as they like, but, you already put it on the internet where all the fools, critics and keyboard analysts can talk about your misfortune. Have a good holiday lol 😂

No, that's actually exactly how religion works.
European mary is white because most Christians there are white.
Ethiopian mary is black because most of the Christians there are black.
Korean's have a Korean Jesus, and I'm assuming their mary similarly looks Korean.
In reality, if she ever existed, she would have look middle eastern.
The only time you see a disconnect there is when a religion was brought to a area by a outside influence (like European powers to much of Africa)

Mary wasn't black though. She was Judean, which would have resembled middle Eastern. If she existed, of course.

They couldn’t find a dark skinned Virgin Mary because it doesn’t exist. Extremely racist

Our Lady of Guidance would be much closer.
Fun Fact: She's the one Filipinos in LA go to for speedy approval of US visas.

They did significantly overcompensate into the other direction though.

No, but then Nelson Mandela isn’t a fictional character.
