While this is true, I feel like this is more a jab at how jesus is so whitewashed he'd make wainscoting blush, given that we have a pretty good idea that he would in fact, not be SO light skinned.

That's just factually wrong. The Middle East (and by extension the Levant) has always been a hotbed of diversity because its unique geography.
You would have found anything from black to pale white (but tanned obviously) skin, black to blond/red hair, brown to blue eyes. Most were darker skinned and dark haired like a modern Middle Eastener, but it wasn't a monoculture, like implied here.
Easiest counter example are the Scythians, but there are countless more.
