Was Buddha really white?

**ButlerKing** · 03-27-2013, 10:48 AM

So I've talked with this guy on Youtube about Buddha, and apparently he claimed he was of Aryan and European origin, this isn't the first time I'm talked with someone like him and even tons forums make this claims. I'm still having hard time to believe he looked anything like modern day Europeans.

Why the hell couldn't anyone believe he looked something like this?

Buddha was not White he is described as having curly black hair and golden Skin. he just had blue eyes according to descriptions. there are frequently Indians with blue eyes

Well he could have been like a North Indian whitish looking type but to say he resembled Europeans is so b.s

well he is described with blue eyes, that is the hint why People assume he was european looking, but he could have or could have not have blue eyes because Buddha was idealised in his appearance, i dont know if he was really 6 feet tall with blue eyes, maybe he was just swarthy and short or fat or whatever. but descriptions of him are idealised and he is described as a northindian Bollywood type the Beauty ideal of Indians, but there is no reason to believe he was White except for his great philosophy so People want to Claim him as their own

It's more frequent among NorthWest Indians, colored eyes like hazel, green, or blue are not uncommon as it's often believed. Buddha probably looked like what modern day Sikh would have looked.

Yes, he was 6' tall and blond with blue eyes, but the jooz have adulterated the history.

No, I am just kidding. I imagine Buddha like some mix of East-Med and Mongolid features.

No ways. Hazel, green, blue (the most) eyes are highly uncommon in India. Not even 1/10. Maybe 1/100. Most of the Bollywood women wear lightning contacts (though Aishwarya is natural). Even in the NW of India. Man, NW India is not some East Iran. I am from Northern India myself, so have a decent idea.

Because he didn't necessarily look like that, in fact if the early representations are accurate do you think he did?

But, anyways, modern day Europeans, no, I don't think he looked like most
