That's in the finest tradition of tone-deaf, clueless whitewashing Mormon painters, including their own mythology.

I mean, Kenobi Space Jesus has a pretty direct antecedent in Mormon art. They took the Medieval and Renaissance European tradition of making literally everybody white and brought it deep into the twentieth and even twenty-first centuries.

Not a believer in any sense, but I would follow Kenobi and put his portait on my wall. No doubt about it.
