There are many other translations, but here's one more:

American Standard

"And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance."

So, according to you, King David wasn't Jewish. He must have been German and converted, right?
How did I know you were going to throw the King David card on me?

Precious, I'm aware of light hair complexity all over Asia and North Africa.

On what?

If you're Cuban in Miami, you don't face much discrimination, but if you're South and Central American, hell yes!

I can't help it, every time someone uses "Precious" I think of Silence of The Lambs.

Actually, I'm usually on the other side of this argument, when people start talking about Jesus and have pictures of a White, blue-eyed man who looks like a movie star Someone born in Nazareth 2000 years ago would have probably had very dark skin, dark curly hair and brown eyes.

By the way, this same subject was raised in the 14th century.

I'm not Cuban, neither Central American. I've been raised around S,C and N Americans half of my life, and have never felt tension going on between those people. I think you should be thankful to live in this place, if, discrimination is one of your biggest fears.

You know Spanish people are also Germanic by blood, right? (hence, celtiberians)

tWO of the things climate affects is skin color and body structure (amongst other things), everyone agrees on that. However, you still find light haired and eyed people all over North Africa and Asia (even in the mongoloid race).
