Anon, it is universal trait in human cultures to celebrate oneself. This is why Chinese Christians depict Jesus as Chinese and black Christians depict Him as black. Religious iconography was never intended to be historically accurate.

Whiteness is associated with purity and divinity. Jesus should have literal paper white skin though to get the divine image right.

This is blasphemous. You can call Jesus many things but painting him as an Indian is just plain offensive.
