I think they should try to do everything as accurately as possible.

Semites are Caucasian. I am amazed that you didn’t know that.

King David supposedly had red hair. He is described as having a ruddy complexion.

I don’t care who they used to portray angels.

Semitic people are not light skinned blue eyed europeans. Casting a blue eyed light skinned european for a semite is apparently not a problem. But if you cast an Asian or African!! OMG! How PC! How inaccurate!

Some early Christian Africans would put flour on the dead because every picture they had seen of anyone from the Bible or in heaven was pasty white. Not a brown semite in the entire visual lexicon they were familiar with.

All Semites are not now nor were they ever Caucasion. The reference is to the language spoken, not the 'race'. There's a nice little piece in the OT where one of the prophets outlines, roughly, the ancestry of the either David or the people in the Kingdom.

But, if that's not enough, I'll let you down gently ~ Israel was located on the Arabian peninsula, on the Mediterranean side ~ and it's a sort of landbridge between the continents of Africa and Asia.

They ~ meaning black folk ~ already got there early in the Paleolithic ~ they ~ meaning black folk ~ are still there lurking around in the gene pool ~ with new ones coming every time a new army sweeps through the area.

Many Semites have KINKY HAIR and that's not a case of parallel evolution!
